Ultimately it comes down to landscape context, I guess. Same as with cairns and barrows where you have to ask yourself 'if it's not genuine, what other reason could there be for it being here?'

I'm aware from my wanderings that farmers are apt to erect 'scratching posts' - although no doubt the odd fallen monolith re-erected did the job in that respect? Was this land ever part of a farm?
