An interesting discovery:
THE MODERN ANTIQUARIAN site lists a stone that is almost identical to this stone, within about a mile. I had to study the two pictures side by side to determine if they were actually the same stone. The map reference for The Poppy Stone is given to 10 figures so is pretty precise and it is clearly not the same stone as we saw further up the mountain.

THE MODERN ANTIQUARIAN also questions whether their stone is a genuine standing Stone.

Could this be the standing stone? Recorded as Coflein NPRN 521360? The image looks similar to the one submitted, and the location given (SN7597747079) although the location is 180m to the NE.

Just to note I needed to rename this site as the original 'Unknown Standing Stone' was too generic and brought up photographs from other site pages, so I added the village name. If you want a different site name, please post a comment here. Thank you.
