This stone is greeeeeeen. It also has bits of offerings on the top. In the form of coins, ribbons and a pebble with the word 'Futhark', written all runey.

No sign of any of the alleged missing stones, but on the edge of the trees, a very clear view of the silhouette of Simonside is visible. In this bit of the world, no prehistoric monument is complete without close proximity such a view. Shame the trees block it from the stone.
