A large boulder of consolidated ash and slag from previous industrial use of this area, possibly a large array of coke beehive ovens using coal from West Wylam Colliery. The drain leads water to the north of the main road although drainage of the whole area has been altered several times by the huge changes in local industrial land-use.
