At the western terminus of the Holne Moor Stone Row, this is thought to be a recumbent standing stone or menhir – it is of some size. We learn from Butler (1993) that: “The three lines of stones are laid out alongside the Holne Moor boundary reave, roughly parallel with it and 5 to 7 m to the south. Like the Challacombe Down triple alignment a tall pillar once stood at the higher end set across the line of the centre row, the ground beyond it quite level with no sign of a cairn or disturbed ground. The pillar, 3.4 m long, has fallen forwards at an angle long ago for even its socket hole has silted up.”
