The Grey Stone ANT 008:024
"On top of a small NW-facing slope, just below the top of a hill overlooking a stream. All that remains at this location is a massive basalt boulder badly damaged by attempts to blast it apart. It is orientated NW-SE & is 3.13m long. It is 1.54m wide at the SE end & 1.5m at NW, expanding to 2.07m in the centre. No visible trace remains of the 6 supporting stones or of the urn burial reported by Gray in 1883."
