As for Ravensheugh, but when you reach the fence near the crag, walk up the forest side of it until the stone is reached in about 250 metres.
 
General:
Some mid-grade bouldering. Not worth a visit unless you're already at Ravensheugh. The boundary fence gets in the way.
Rock:
Fell Sandstone
Carboniferous, Dinantian
Good
History:
Spasmodic bouldering has taken place here for decades. It used to be clearly visible from Simonside North Face before the forest was planted.
