A sarsen stone discovered c19 during the excavation for a pipeline across Horsell Birch. Moved and erected at current location.
Limited primary sources, identified by a local historian and published as part of a newspaper series.
From the article: The stone has been erected near the Danewell Gutter stream, but does not appear to have been an ancient standing stone. It is one of a number of large sarsen stones to be found in the back gardens of houses in the Hook Heath area.
