The stone stands about 1.80m above the peat level.
It takes a fair while to get to this stone through the deep forest. But thanks to the Forestry Commission there are road-like tracks leading near to it. (0.5 km).
Very solitary and peaceful.

Between the uprights, one can just about make out the other standing pair in this group.

Just to show how it looks with sunshine.

In front of the Stone can be seen the rectangular structure. The mounds behind it lie just outside the enclosure.

These ones are rather small and submerged. There is another Stone perfectly aligned on the OS map (NF 865 729) 2.5km WNW. I have not been there and on that day I could not see it. But even on a clear day I doubt that with the peat that high anything can be seen. Non the less it is an intriguing line of sight.
Picture taken from NNW.
I wonder if this one ever stood.
