Standing Stone (Menhir) in Herefordshire

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this standing stone - see their entry for Picts Cross Stone, Sellack, Herefordshire. TNA tell us that the monolith is in the hedgerow along the old boundary line near the Picts Cross crossroads, about a mile south of Sellack.

TNA quote from Alfred Watkins's 1928 description of this stone: “It was Pricker’s and Prick’s Cross in 18th century maps, and Pig’s Cross in the 1832 Ord. Map. Now ‘pig’ is the present Welsh word for “a peak, a point, a pike.”


Note: Does anyone know if this stone still stands on the old boundary line? Do you have a more precise grid reference and a photo to add?
