Driving home from a day out yesterday I spotted a squared off standing stone in a field just SE of Lancaster. In the middle of a green field.

I've looked through the site listings, the posts, the Technicolour Map and on Google Earth and it's not there - so it's going to be a relatively recent addition.

Google earth-ing coupled with my memory of footbridges and junctions put's it here (roughly):

53°59'59.45"N
2°46'41.64"W

anyone else seen this?

Have seen it myself a number of times but upon closer inspection think it is a cow-rub thingy.

Deffo nothing on any map or any other source.

Is that the one on the left heading south, quite tall and thin? I've seen it before too. I've always presumed it was something to do with the house.
