Fieldnotes to come when I can find them!

Directions from memory: We parked at the end of St Stephen’s Lane, and followed the well-defined footpath as it wound it’s way through the forest. After a shortish distance we reached the reservoir. Just after the reservoir is the signpost – on your left – pointing left toward the stone. Further down this path is another sign, pointing right up a smaller path. The stone is just at the end.
