The large block of dressed stone appears to have been placed there but it's more likely that it has simply been discarded - there's a number of other, similar stones, some significantly larger, lying haphazardly alongside the path above the river in this vicinity. Presumably the blocks have come from the site of the disused Wolsingham Steelworks which lies to the right out of the image. Some of the metal fencing securing the site can be seen at the edge of the frame.
