Standing Stone in Talladega County, Alabama.
Made of local schist, this thick tabular slab is 3 feet wide at the base and nearly 4 feet high. It overlooks the Tallaseehatchee Creek. Nine stone mounds and a stone wall were also recorded as being in the general vicinity of this stone by Marcus Ridley in a 2008 survey conducted prior to a timber sale.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The location given is for the general area of the Tallaseehatchee Creek and should not be used for locating the site. The location will be updated when possible.
