Good stone, no tourists.
I parked in a small gateway with a no parking sign, well someone else was already there so I parked next to them and walked briskly across the field.
For more information see Pastscape Monument No. 39772, which says " "In a field right opposite Whitestock Hall, in Colton, stands an upright glaciated boulder, about four feet high, planted on its end on a footing of stones, on a hillock ... A glacially-worn quartzite boulder ... embedded into the ground upon the top of a glacial mound in a pasture field. The boulder is supported by some small stones around the base; it is 1.4m in height, 1.0m wide and 0.6m deep. It has every appearance of having been erected to its present position by human agency."
