Big triangular slab of stone standing at the edge of a field behind the farm, but with a footpath running alongside it. It stands 2.2 m tall, and is 2.2 m wide at the base, just over half a metre thick.

a bit tricky to find, but if you park in the laybay outside the school and head due North, it's in a farmer's field. you cant really see it untill you actually enter the field. watch out for the bulls :)
