Hurlstone Standing Stone



This is a giant of a stone, it is much bigger than either of the images would have you believe.
The stone stands to a height  of 1.5 meters and is roughly the same in width.
The hole is 20cm's in diameter.

It is thought that this may be all that remains from what was once a wedge tomb.

Access - The stone is located just off a very narrow road so parking is tricky.
The stone is not visible from a car as the field it is situated in is banked.

  1. Delighted to see a fresh picture of this. I went up and down the road looking for this a few months ago but couldnt find it and was afraid it had been removed. How far is it from the road?

    Great blog by the way.

  2. Thanks, the stone is so close to the road you could nearly touch it.
