A standing stone at the edge of a field that local folk lore says has stood for 3000 years on the site of an ancient burial of a war lord. The stone has over the years had graffiti put on it, the earliest dated one I could find was dated 1666, the most recent is 1914.
The stone is leaning quite a bit, one would assume this is because of the root structure of the nearby trees.
