Summary description and reason for designation
The following provides a general description of the Scheduled Ancient Monument.
The monument comprises a standing stone, which measures 1.8m tall, 1.5m wide and 0.5m deep. It is oriented NNE-SSW and located on a gentle E facing slope in the grounds of a private house. It is earthfast and rises to a pointed top.
The standing stone is thought to be of religious or ceremonial significance and to date to the Bronze Age (c. 2300 BC - 800 BC). This example is one of a complex of prehistoric monuments in the local area. The monument is likely to retain significant archaeological deposits and enhance our knowledge of prehistoric ritual practices.
