(NO 1575 3557) Standing Stone (NR)

OS 6" map (1901)

A small standing stone situated c. 150yds NW of Hangies Well (NO13NE 13). Neither Coles nor Crawford were successful in positively identifying the stone. Coles found "a biggish block of whinstone lying on the grass somewhat cubical c. 2'6" square and fractured" and assumed it to be a portion of it. Crawford discovered "a sharp-edged boulder standing near the spot marked on the map" but was not certain if it was the stone. It had no markings on it.

Name Book 1865; F R Coles 1909

Information from O G S Crawford, 10 April 1967.
