Sidney Oldall Addy in his 1888 book 'A glossary of words used in the neighbourhood of Sheffield' states, "A gamekeeper's house called Oxdale Lodge is next approached on the right-hand side of (Houndkirk) road. The house fronts the south-east, and looks straight down a clough or deep valley, watered by a runlet, by whose banks grows here and there a mountain ash. Adjacent to the spot where Oxdale Lodge stands, Fairbank's map records a stone called Harrys Stone. I asked the gamekeeper of Oxdale Lodge whether he knew of such a stone. He replied that he did not, and had never heard of it. I have, nevertheless, no doubt of the accuracy of Fairbank's survey, and can only suppose that the name has been lost and the stone removed. Harry is the Anglo-Saxon hearh or hearg (pronounced harry), meaning a temple or idol, as may be seen in Adamfield Harrie, Holmesfield."
