NS 4995 5501 A large block of dressed sandstone, measuring 1.15m square and 240mm thick, was uncovered during digging of a new drain outside a farm building. It was situated 3.3m from the nearest building, square on to the line of its wall and about 0.5m offset from its entrance. On the top surface are the remains of four bolts set into the stone and sealed with lead. The block appears to have had some type of farm machinery mounted on it, but what is not clear.
Fuller report lodged with the NMRS.
