Full Description

S58 (NL689984) Regularly shaped stone, 0.7 x 0.3 m, set upright with propping stones at base. Height 1.2 m. A few metres upslope two large stones set on edge and three smaller blocks appear to mark out a cist-like feature 2 x 0.8 m. If too small to be called a standing stone, the upright stone appears to be a positional marker of some sort.
