Twenty feet high and forty feet long, it rests on a mica slate ledge with a small base, a near balancing rock. A glacially eroded cavity under the rock contains a basin large enough for a head, and the bowlder’s upside-down position suggests it once stood differently, shaped by ancient water grinding. The rock likely traveled from miles away to the northwest, with unique features unmatched in the region per a Windham correspondent to the Boston Globe.
