Carn March Arthur Stone
Carn March Arthur Stone submitted by DavidHoyle : Stone is just under a metre tall and rather stumpy. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Taken from old OS map. This stone may have originally been what the Carn March Arthur legend referred to and for whatever reason the legend ended up misplacing this to a nearby minor "dent" in a rock.
