Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Yorkshire (West)

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) tell us this now vandalised stone was originally located at SE 28449 34364, but is now to be found "halfway along Westfield Road, where it meets up with Hollis Place, along the footpath at the back of the school, set back against the walling.  A plaque by the rock kinda gives the game away!"

Also known as the Giant's Stone, for more information see TNA's page for Gray Stone, Burley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding this legendary stone together with the location of the stone shown on the 1852 OS map, a brief archaeology & history and local folklore.

TNA add that the original Gray Stone may have been a standing stone, but we cannot be certain about this.
