A potential ancient site, consists of what appears to be a stone alighnment on the hillside of Heversham Head. Nearby a hall is named Mabbin Hall, and takes its name from a Brythonic deity name.
The site has therefore been named Mêni Mabbin, which is the reconstructed Brythonic for 'stones of Mabon'.
