Standing stone

The National Monuments Service's description

In pasture, ringforts (LI041-013005-007-) lie 140m to the SE. Not depicted on OSi historic maps. Westropp’s (1917-19, 67) description of a standing stone (LI041-013008-) recorded another standing stone which he described as ‘possibly as large, but partly buried, lies to the north-east above the slope to the stream, which joins a second stream and has several pools and springs beside it.’ No surface remains visible on Digital Globe orthoimage taken between 2011-13 or on Google Earth orthoimages.
