Humpty13 visited on 21st Jun 2018 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 3 Access: 3 The stone is still standing and is relatively easy to find although the field in which it stands has no public footpath through it and is used for livestock grazing.
This stone stood until 1994 in a field to the south of the village of Queniborough marking an ancient trackway from Tilton.
It had a tapering pentagonal shape and, although just about 3' stood above ground, there was reputedly the same amount below ground.
