Looking west only the chimney of the aluminium plant can be seen. It is about 1500mm high, with some field clearance stones at its base. This standing stone is marked on W.O. Stanleys’ “Map of the Antiquities of Holy Island 1868”, and also marked on the 1924 OS Map.
At some angles it looks like a half buried MAOI. There are plans afoot by Land & Lakes to “develop” this area, with a restaurant within a few hundred yards of this stone. With no legal protection its future is murky.
