Ravenswood standing stone

... that the 4,000-year-old Ravenswood standing stone (pictured) now lies in a cul-de-sac in a 1970s Scottish housing estate?

Source: " It was moved from this position in about 1971 when a new housing scheme was built. The stone is being re-scheduled now to afford it protection in its new location in a modern urban setting. The stone is set into the pavement on the NW side of the cul-de-sac at the E end of Ravenswood Avenue and is surrounded by metal railings. The stone was first erected probably about 4,000 years ago." from: "Liberton, standing stone, east end of Ravenswood Avenue, Liberton/Gilmerton, City of Edinburgh". ancientmonuments.uk.
