Have you looked on The Modern Antiquarian website. In fact, if the site isn't listed there why not add it. What's more why not add the photo anyway.

Up t'north ain't my area I'm afraid, but I'm sure someone will help you out.

And Welcome to HH.

Excellent a Geordie standing stone a rare species indeed. Definately post a picture on the TMA website. I don't have any information but I'm in the Beautiful North over Easter en route to Aberdeen so I'll try to check it out aswell.

The standing stone seems to have disappeared. I have cycled past this for years. It went a few months ago. I can see it on maps from the late 1800s, and there are plenty of photos on the internet. But now gone. I have emailed the council to see if they can shed any light on its disapperance.
