This one really did take some finding. It isn't hidden away by anything - it's just on a lake beach that is strewn with large boulders. After walking past it and along the beach looking at every stone I passed I returned to the stream I'd crossed and there it was. How could I have missed it? It's 1.5m in diameter and 1m high!

The boulder is a globular thing with three bullauns running across it in a line. One of these looks like a natural solution pit, while the others look like enhanced solution pits.
