This stone is a phallic wonder! The only detraction is the proximity of the bungaloid dwelling just 20m away.

Rising to some 1.5m tall with a nicely curved top this stone, as seen from the road, is quite beautiful. When you get closer and walk around it it loses some of its obvious form.

With the mountains as a backdrop the serenity of this standing stone is quite special.
