Is this really a standing stone?

Can't we have meaningful boulders though? Agreed it's not a 'standing stone' in that it hasn't been put there deliberately. One imagines. It's not quite as visually arresting as those mushroom-shaped stones (you know the ones).
It could be called a 'natural rock feature' or whatever the category is?

I guess so. If we have to include stuff that's got no connection with prehistory (watch this space for 'a pebble wot I found yesterday').

I guess it's up to 'kentigern' and the Eds. Who is this mysterious kentigern?

>'natural rock feature'<

this is my idea of a natural rock feature, this is something i think prehistoric man might well have made part of his life..
