BNG70.jpg  A strong candidate, matching the OS County Series plot; but there is no obvious intrinsic reason why this stone is more interesting than others.

observation:-  
The OS Outdoor Leisure labels this object, but does not mark it usefuly. On the OS 1890s County Series it is marked and labelled, but without surveying instruments it is not so easy to tell which of the great 'tumblers' that litter the valley bottoom is THE stone.
