WA5706 : The Madonna Stone, Alderney

The Madonna Stone, Alderney
The Madonna Stone, Alderney
Channel Islands. So called as (with a little imagination) it is shaped like a young woman holding a child on her right hip and the setting sun reveals the faint trace of a face. Nothing seems to be known of its origin: an old gate post, a small monolith, a boundary marker? The stone was erected in this position in 1960.
