A view of The Druid Stone near Bledworth
Sitting in a private field with no public access, this glacial erratic has survived in situ for countless centuries. No doubt once it sat in a clearing in Sherwood Forest, before witnessing deforestation and enclosure. Its saving grace was probably that it was simply too big to move or easily break up. My photograph was taken from the south. The view from the west or east would have shown that humans of the past created a rough hole through the rock - "According to local folklore, sick children were passed through the hole in the Druid Stone in an attempt to cure childhood illnesses such as whooping cough or rickets, with speculation that the act of passing through the stone symbolised the rebirth of a healthy child" - says Atlas Obscura.

Druid Stone
Natural rock formation consisting of conglomerate material known as puddingstone. The hollowed-out area is due to human activity and may have been an attempt at a Solstice sunrise alignment. The site is well described on the Megalithic Portal website and a cluster of similarly-formed rocks can be found in a wooded area to the north west at SK574568, just off the Robin Hood Way.

Inverted bench mark, Blidworth churchyard wall
Inversion of a bench mark can mean that it has been taken off the list, but this one is specifically noted as inverted. Whether it was created like this, or the stone became inverted during reconstruction of the wall and was re-levelled is indeterminable. See http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4015744 for location.
