Description
This large boulder of Necomian sandstone has quite likely been transported from Norway by a glaciar during the last ice age.
The picture is only part of it, which continues under the hedge to the right to the edge of the ditch. It is very worn, gritty and mossy - its
certainly been there a long while.
The dimensions are at least [roughly] 13 x 5 x 5 foot in size, so could actually weigh in at around 20/25 tons. It sits in a marl pit on the edge of a field. I had to clear an accrued growth of vegetation away to expose the surace of the stone, before resting as pictured.
