This stone is not in its original position, it was moved here from an unknown location in the early 1900s. It was moved next to the church and two crosses have been carved into the stone, one large cross with a circle around around 1,7 metres from the ground level and a smaller one in the north east corner of the stone. Even with the crosses and the secondary position the stone has been moved from a previous Iron Age burial.
The stone is 3,5 metres in height, around 70cm wide and around 30cm thick. The stone narrows closer to the top and the top ends in a small point. The stone is located at the edge of a private garden next to the old priests farm. The stone has two large trees on either side and can be hard to see from a distance.
When I visited this site it was very late in the evening and I had to drive north the same day so I had to take the pictures in a low light with a flash! I will try to return here and take some better photos with better light conditions!
