What a great name for a place! What a lovely stone too.

This 2m high beauty stands on a promontory ridge and seems to dominate the landscape around it.

It has had some serious work done to it and at least three of the four sides are dressed. The one face curves beautifully inwards towards the top.

This is a very majestic stone and should be on anybody's list of ones to touch when they are in the area.
