It rises 73 feet above the ground, spans 80 feet, and is estimated to contain 70 000 cubic feet of stone weighing about 10 000 tons. Geologists attribute its origin to glacial movement in prehistory, with surface grooves and smooth areas suggesting ancient shaping. The land is owned by Alexander Atchinson, with a proposed Connecticut bill to purchase it for public access.
