MEM24497 - Possible prehistoric standing stone or rubbing stone on Larkbarrow (Monument)
Summary
Please read the caveat document.
Type and Period (2)
Protected Status
Full Description
Isolated, large (1m x 1m x 0.2m) stone slab which appears to be earthfast and leaning so that it is almost recumbent. The size of the stone is atypical for Exmoor’s standing stones, but its setting overlooking Maddacombe and general morphology is within the normal range. It is possibly a prehistoric standing stone though this is uncertain. Its presence near a ditch may also sugges that it was removed from that location during excavation. [1-2]
