Neil1911 visited on 1st Jan 2012 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 4 Access: 4 Surrounded by Forrestry Commission pines but evidently receives some attention as either an educational or meeting site.
Standing stone on Farley Moor, now in forestry.
Marked on 1st edition of the O.S 1:2500 as stone.
John Barnatt and Frank Robinson visited the stone in 2003
and thought it to be prehistoric due to its location and weathering,
although only excavation would prove this.
If it is prehistoric it would be the 3rd largest standing stone
on the eastern gritstone moors.
