NN91NE 12 9771 1643.
A standing stone about 6ft (1.83m) high, supposed to be the remains of a 'Druidical Temple' (no evidence given).
Name Book 1860.
A standing stone with no evidence of a stone circle.
Visited by OS 3 August 1967.
Air photographs show that this standing stone is surrounded by a possible enclosure, defined by the faint cropmarks of a ditch, c. 21-22m in diameter and 1m-2.5m in width. The stone is in the S sector of the enclosure, just inside the line of the ditch, which is apparently interrupted. Probable henge.
