This is a standing stone to be found on the western edge of Keighley in West Yorkshire. It acquired its curious sexual title as a result of possessing one very distinct element: namely, the carving of female gentilia on the west-facing side of the standing stone. And it's blatant!
As the stone is in an area which the land-owner wants kept quiet, I couldn't do the usual and give it the name of the local farm, or meadows, as it'd give the game away as to its exact position - summat the farmer told me he didn't want. And so I have to abide by this. And so the carving on the stone was an obvious contention when it came to giving it a title. A few of us went thru various thoughts, including Yoni, Twat, Muff, Minge, Pussy, and more besides - but the Cunt Stone seemed preferable by most. So 'cunt' it is! Hope y' like it!
The stone is less than four-feet tall and, were it not for the nearby walling, has excellent views to the west thru to northeast. Its western view is the most dramatic. The genital-carving is about 5 inches from top to bottom, but I have to stress that this carving doesn't seem to be of great age. I'd actually hazard a guess that it was only a few centuries old - possibly even Victorian. A great pity, as otherwise we could be looking at Britain's earliest minge carving!
There is what may be an Iron Age hut circle less than 100 yards to the northwest, and one, perhaps two cairns, in the trees below. One of the adjacent boulders possess one of those distinct 'druid bowls' (natural) which some Irish folk enjoy - without foundation - calling 'bullauns.' Curiously, on her first visit to this spot, our little 11-year old 'Dizzy' stopped and perused the deep cup-marking and told, without prompting (and with no knowledge at all of anything megalithic) how it seemed to be a place where children were baptized when it was filled with rainwater.
...Strange ey...? (to those who don't know - some rock-basins are known in folklore to have been used for just such purposes)
Anyway - if any of you healthy heathen folk wanna wander to see this curiously carved standing stone, lemme know and we can take a wander to see it.
