Standing Stone in Leicestershire and Rutland.
A 6' high standing stone near Gynsall Lane.
Photographs taken in the early 1970s and late 1980s show the stone leaning almost horizontally. However, in summer 1991 the stone was pushed upright by the farmer, who was concerned that it would be affected by the route of the Leicester Western Bypass.
