Standing Stone (Menhir) in Nottinghamshire

Crow Hill Standing Stone is in park land extending from the Hemlock Stone, and is at the end just off the A52 into Nottingham by Bramcote Island. It sits amongst over-gown earthworks at an elevation of 76m. Markings on one face might be a date carved as 1777.
