Re: Candle Stone (Methlick) by Anonymous on Monday, 15 October 2007
I look out of my kitchen window directly to the Candle Stone. How lucky am I? There was once a stone circle around the Candle Stone, a few years ago there were some people mapping it out. It often reminds me of a huge man sat brooding in the middle of Mr Grays field , he's the farmer who owns the land where it is situated.

This is a brute of a stone over ten feet tall. It is irregularly shaped but there do not appear to be any cup markings on it.
