There is a spot height on the map of 161 metres at this point. Compare Image taken only a short way further along the lane in January of the same year to show the difference between a wet winter and dry autumn on a track like this. The 1908 map shows a former smelting works at the end of the lane with a quarry nearby; this may be the origin of the name, as lodestone is a name for a magnetic mineral found in iron ore.
