Sitting on top of a small mound by a farm track is a huge boulder, sitting on top of several smaller stones. As soon as I saw it I thought it had to be a boulder burial, but the map showed nothing. Later after looking at the OS map again I saw that there is a red dot, but no label.

The boulder is quite massive, about 1.8m in all directions.
