In fact, it is on the opposite side of the road to where it is marked on my ign 1:25000 map, and looks like it might have been moved here fairly recently.
While I was visiting, I noted that there was a hole dug down one side of the stone, showing at least another metre of stone below ground level. But quite why one side should have been excavated I dont know. Maybe somebody wants it to fall over.
