This is what remains of the original carving which, judging by the detail of the legs, must have been quite delightful. It is located about halfway along the long right hand (SE) face of the large rock. The half-size reproduction, with its inscription, is in front of the SW end of the rock. The Scheduled Monument description is an interesting read; see https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1012133?section=official-list-entry See also Image
