A standing stone, probable erratic boulder adjacent road on Lordstone Lane, along a north facing slope. Right next to a telegraph pole, and a little way down (north) from a junction signed Hope 1/2 and Bentlawnt 1 1/4, and a small postbox set in concrete.
The OS 1:25000 Map puts the stone on the west side of the lane, just to the north of a junction but there is nothing to be seen there; if you turn around where it is meant to be, there is a large lone stone overgrown in the hedgerow exactly opposite!
Many thanks and credit to Baz for pointing out the reference to the stone.
