I drove past the area where the stone is marked slowly a couple of times, and could make out a large standing stone in one of the hedges which divides the fields to the west of the road. I could find no place in the vicinity to park, as the roadside consisted of thick hedges right up to the road on both sides. I would guess the stone is well over 2 metres high, but obviously couldn't be sure or get a photograph.
