Mystery stone in a field
Image: © Gordon Hatton Taken: 14 Aug 2020
A single stone around 1.5m high in the middle of a pasture close by the junction of Fall Lane and Sandy Gate Road. It isn't a boundary stone, but examination of 19thC maps shows an extra field boundary here [now gone] and I assume that this was once a gatepost. The view is towards the wooded flanks of the Washburn valley above Thruscross Reservoir.
