Stonefield Park, Ayr

Standing Stone (Menhir) in South Ayrshire. Stonefield Park Standing Stone is a large glacial erratic boulder earthfast in the N entrance to Stonefield Park off Dunure Road. It lies in Doonfoot, a SW suburb of Ayr. The rough stone, measuring c. 6 feet high by 5 feet wide at the base stands in a patch of grass 50 yards from the junction beside a garage.



According to Canmore ID 41621 it once stood on Burton Farm land but it has now been subsumed by suburbia. The stone has not moved but its surroundings have changed from rural to urban. Its survival against the odds is something to be celebrated.
