• MA110-091 Standing stone
  Description

  Located on level ground on the N margins of an expanse of coniferous forestry. Ground rises to S; this wooded slope is strewn with boulders and broken by rock outcropping. A large field of flat pasture/silage stretches to N. A roughly rectangular block of limestone (H 1.8m; 0.7m NNE−SSW; 0.35-0.4m ESE-WNW), with a rectangular cross-section, set firmly upright in the ground. At a height of 1.2m above ground level, there is a sloping ‘shoulder’ above which the stone narrows to a width of c. 0.45m on the NNE−SSW axis. The stone has a naturally rough surface, which is noticeably more corrugated on the S and E sides. It tilts now gently to E. Ivy thickly overspreads all sides of the stone, especially dense on the top and slightly sparser towards the base. A small tree stands immediately to N, its trunk growing flush against the N face of the stone.
