Description
Something a little different...
The stone is 1.7m tall, 1.5m wide, and 0.4m thick, in the shape of a rounded rectangle with a distinct step, or shoulder on one side. It is thought to stand on the site of a circular timber structure that burnt down around 1395 BC. Though it now stands alone, the stone is thought to have formed part of an arrangement of smaller stones. About 940 BC a cremation burial was added to the earlier monument. The site was reused in the Iron Age and Romano-British period.

As the stone has a decisive step on its north edge, this acts as a useful table to dress deer and eviscerate game. Many individual large stones have this useful table ledge.
