Natural rock formation consisting of conglomerate material known as puddingstone. The hollowed-out area is due to human activity and may have been an attempt at a Solstice sunrise alignment. The site is well described on the Megalithic Portal website and a cluster of similarly-formed rocks can be found in a wooded area to the north west at SK574568, just off the Robin Hood Way.
