Stennessalikes?

Was just looking at tomatoman's truly wonderful shot on TMA, looking at the angled tops of the stones ending in a point at one end. What other examples are there like this on the Northern Isles, in Scotland, or, indeed, elsewhere in the UK?

They are truly striking, particularly at close quarters when the wind is blowing through them!
I've found some candidate stones but the nature of the Orkney slab stone makes them unique in my experience.
There's:
- Lech Idris, Gwynedd
- Dunruchan A, Perthshire
- Nether Largie centre stone, Kilmartin
- Some of the Ring of Brodgar stones
- The Callanish centre stone
These all come in the category of "sort-of" !

I must admit I asked because I m a y have found one my way, which I'm having 'looked at' in a few weeks. It looks a stone out of place. Very odd. If hunch is right it's, er, a bit good.. You don't call in a 'bod' without reasonable cause, and egg on face I like not. It has happened once or twice. Pancake in, yes please.
