Standing Stone (Menhir) in Shropshire

A very large granite menhir on a prominent hilltop position, set in concrete.

It is not listed on the SMR or any archaeological database. Given the the use of non local stone, and this, its antiquity seems questionable.

Credit to "Grey" for this, who accompanied the group on the Shropshire Meet in March 2003, and pointed out this menhir in the distance from the top of Caer Caradoc (Chapel Lawn).
