Natural Stone in Somerset
"Dun's Stone is a large irregular unworked boulder of outcropping rock. It is probably no more than a boundary marker, although the parish boundary is no longer mered to the stone. There is nothing to indicate that it was ever part of a stone circle." - Pastscape monument no. 188463.
