An outcrop of grit stone on Kinder Scout. The rock has gained the folklore of being the site of Druid sacrifices! The indentations on top of the stone, which are due to natural erosion, are believed to be the receptacles for offerings to the Gods. As with most folklore there is always a grain of truth surrounding such sites !
Close by on Nether Moor is the site of another supposed Druidic altar.
