From the southeast it appears like a pillar.


This standing stone wasn't on the list of our must-see places, we found it by pure chance. It's in a private field where I stepped into through the usual cattle gate. Nobody was around, so I didn't ask for any permission. The field itself is surrounded by an electric fence. I walked all along the wire and crossed it in front of the stone.
It has a height of 2.05 metres, a width of 1.43 metres and a thickness of only 35 centimetres, practically a slab, a huge slab.
The funny feature of this standing stone is that it looks different from any direction you look at it.
