After visiting the Bull Stone at Otley Chevin for the midsummer solstice, we noticed what may be the 'lost twin' of the Bull Stone, as mentioned in Paulus's fieldnotes.

Whaddys think?

Maybe people in the area could check it out and give their opinions?

Cheers

Yeahhhh - I like the look of it Dave. The 1720 reference certainly describes a plurality of stones here. How big is it (calm down......I mean the stone...). Could we stand it back up with a bittov effort, for photo's sake?

Well, it looks good enough to have been a standing stone! Nice spot.

It also looks like it broke in two when it fell. Shame.
