Easing of UK Lockdown restrictions have finally enabled me to get out and expose some film in the last week. Here's one of the 8 sheets I've recently exposed and processed at home.

Yep, also shot this on Portra 160: may show one of those too!
Many thanks.
Good question! It's a megalithic standing stone - they usually form part of burial chambers or stone circles (e.g. the very famous Avebury and Stonehenge about 1hr / 1hr30mins south of here), though there is seemingly no extant evidence of other stones nearby here.
It also has a legendary past associated with the occult and the hanging of witches!

Damn, that is a unique stone. I bet if you did some excavation you would probably find more evidence. Of course, you won't get that chance
