It's a nice big granite stone, standing proudly on the high ground, and can be used as a guide towards the ancient stones from Brendon 2 Gates.

Visited: Yes on 26th Jun 2007
Hoccombe Hill (W) submitted by TheCaptain on 26th Jun 2007. The stones run up the slope, but are not in a straight line, in fact it’s difficult to describe the shape, a sort of lightning flash, or perhaps a sort of very long thin diamond. The southern, downhill three are still standing.
