Buck Stone at 280 metres is a UK P100, or 'hump,' with 100 metres of prominence. The top is marked by a trig point, and the Buck Stone itself, which is a bit of a monster. It is a wedge-shaped lump that looks like it weighs at least several tons. There is also an odd-looking man-made dragon's tooth of a stone, which has an indent in the top. I am curious to know what this is? The location makes for fine views out over the countryside, and makes for a great picnic spot.
