Fieldnotes
The Cammo standing stone is one of the most massive I've seen
while exploring the area for this web site. It's located within
the grounds of Cammo estate, now in public hands, and is almost
hidden by trees and shrubs. It's green coating of moss and
lichen seems to conspire to keep it hidden from view, almost as
if it's shy of being seen. There are no markings on the stone to
give any of it's secrets away and what is purpose was, is a
mystery.
