Low House standing stone is really massive. It appears to be made from the same type of rock as Long Meg and Mayburgh. It is a similar size to the standing stone of Mayburgh. Its great to find such a stone, that is virtually unknown. Magic.

This stone stands directly between Long Meg and Blencathra... a ley perhaps?

The stone is beside the West Coast railway line, and is close to junction 41 on the M6, just north of Penrith.
