This is a curious stone. As I stood at the gate to the field it looked like another neglected stone in a meadow. However, as I crossed the long (and very wet) grass I realised that it is not all that neglected after all. Someone had taken the trouble to cut the grass in a 4m diameter circle around it. What's more a mown path lead to the other field gate. Someone cares about this stone!
The stone has split low down and the top part has started to drift away from the rest. The pointed shape of the stone makes it look like a shark's head rising out of the field from the one side.
It is 1.8m tall and 1.2m wide at its base.
