This stone is alleged to have been found partially buried during pipe-laying on land belonging to Burnt House Farm.
It was re-erected close to where it was discovered.The stone shows clear signs of ancient weathering and bears a superficial resemblance to the great standing stones at Bridestones burial chamber 7.5km to the SW. There are other standing stones in the area and the Allgreave stone is only 1600m SE of Bullstones and the Longgutter stone circle.
