Erratic stone in Yorkshire (North)
The Journal of Antiquities includes an entry for this natural erratic boulder - see their page for The Crossgates Stone, Seamer, North Yorkshire, which includes photographs and a description. The Journal also queries the source of the stone - whether it travelled eastwards from Shap or south from Scotland.
The boulder is 6 feet in height, and the same in girth. The sign at the foot of the boulder reads: "A boulder of Shap granite moved to Seamer by a glacier in the ice age. It was moved to this site on 3rd December 1947 from Seamer Station Grounds with the co-operation of the British Railways Board and Dowsett Ltd".
