Easy to find but difficult to see! Well, that's how I found it. This small triangular stone stands in the front garden of the bungalow that is marked on the OS. It was found by the occupier whilst digging the foundations.

Sadly the markings are becomming very faint now, but they are extraordinary. There are at least 6 cup and ring marks (one surrounded by other smaller cups) and four X's. Two cup & rings are joined by one of the crosses.

Directions

Directions to this place are fairly cumbersome and so I will recommend that you get the OS map to help you. When you reach the cross roads you will find two small dwellings. The stone is in the front garden (3m from road and visible) of the house furthest from the cross roads.
