On the north side of Halangy Down at SV 91091254 on the edge of
a small field, stands an ivy-covered slab of granite, almost
upright but leaning slightly to the south. It is 2.0m in
height, and 1.0m x 0.7m in thickness. In general appearance it
could well be a standing stone, and if so would almost
certainly be in situ.

Surveyed in position at 1:2500 on PFD.
