markj99 visited on 4th May 2017 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 1 Sibleyback Standing Stone is a high and handsome stone in an isolated location. It is erected at SX 24072 73838, c. 100 yards NW of a disused railway bed at the foot of Newell Tor. I walked SW from Kilmar Tor to access it. I would consider a GPS device essential to find this stone.
