Standing Stone / Menhir

Fieldnotes

The field is named Stenso from stens-a 'standing stone burn'. Today the open gate gave entry. I found a N/S aligned stone at the top of the hill. It projects less than it is thick i.e. 6" or less. If this is the stone it has become further reduced this last couple of months, if not then it is previously unrecorded. I had my photos but a tractor man ordered me off before I could take measure of the thing. He said that I wasn't allowed and the land was private [an English derived conceit]. After the bullying I forgot to check from the road for the proper s.s. if this wasn't it and doubt I'll dare again. wideford Posted by wideford
