Probably an erratic, present in Grubbins Wood. We visited here in 2019, found a long line of small stones going through the wood, a bit like an embankment but we can't be sure.

This embankment runs between several things that look like cairns, and upon the embankment is this eratic. The eratic or stone seems to have high iron content.
