Taking the B9057 west out of Dounby I found down at Hackland a solitary stone in the field alongside the road, no nearby quarries or outcrops or structures to explain its presence.
The stone is 1.1m long by 0.5m high by 0.6m wide, one end manages not to be quite square and the other is simply irregular.
