This curious stone is accessed through a farm yard, the owner of which is only too pleased to show the way, but I don't think he quite sees the fascination with it.

The stone is like a cheese wedge stood on end. There is some 'modern' carving on it dated 1876. At 1 m in height it looks like an over large sundial alone in the middle of the field.
