MegalithicChaton visited on 11th Feb 2024 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Amazingly large boulder that really suprised me when I first saw it. Easy walk down a large path with a small uphill on a smaller marked path to get to it. Looks like some chalk marks from recently bouldering attempts. The side opposite the main path is very mossy. Very interesting shape at the front.

It is best approached from the south along a forest track from the NW corner of the Village - be patient it is a fair walk but the end result is well worth the effort - superb views - and the two Hearkening Rocks are close-by - a rewarding visit with other notable stones/rocks in the area - Buck Stone - the Broadstones - Toads Mouth Stone and of course the Long Stone
