Twiff13 visited on 22nd Jan 2022 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Went up today, on a very cold and frosted ground, temp was around -2 deg C. The stone is visible, down into the workings pit on the farside as you come in through the field gate (from the road). Other than some moss and lichen covering, it is in a good state and the markings are still visible. In my humble opinion, these look man made and not natural markings.The stone is easy to get to, so long as the grass isn't frozen! The grass was in long tussocks, making underfoot a little tricky because of the frost and ice. ADDENDUM: August 2023 - with the long grasses and new fence going up on a new crop (you can still access the stone), you can't see the stone without a scramble through nettles and long tussocky grass.

A stone who's markings have been said to be man-made. Geologists in the 20's thought they were natural, I'm with the latter. It's on the side of a Roman quarry which was used to build the nearby Roman road.
