Very large standing stone near a more recent enclosure called "The Court".
Update September 2019: This site is now classed as a probable stone single stone row comprising 4 large-sized stones, only one of which is upright. For more information see the Stone Rows of Great Britain's entry for Court Stone Row 1, which includes a description, photographs of the alignment and the individual stones, a plan of the stone row with the hollow cut around the southern-most stone (from a recent survey carried out in August 2018), plus access information.
The standing stone, plus the three nearby recumbent stones, are also recorded as Coflein NPRN 403126 (Court Standing Stone).
