A.W. Wainwright in his 'Westmorland Heritage' documents it and says it is likely to be the largest in the county of its type.
The sheer size and precarious nature of this boulders perched position means the utmost care must be exercised when approaching the boulder.
DO NOT APPROACH IT FROM DOWNSLOPE or you may not survive if it rolled over you! Surely not many more years are left in the plinth beneath it and it is already leaning downslope.
