Saturday, 9th July 2005

After setting up the tent we set off again to see some stones. This very intriguing one was on the way to some of the ones we wanted to get to, so stopping off seemed like a good idea.

I couldn’t see a way into the field, but what I saw from the road looks really interesting. This solitary standing stone appears to stand on the edge of a circular bank made of rocks. I couldn’t tell if this circular feature was a platform of a ring with an empty centre. This leaves several options: the stone could be a door post into a hut, the last remaining stone of a stone circle or just a standing stone in an odd place.

I’d love to go back and have a proper look one day.
