A glacial erratic stone brought to the locale by the movement of the ice during the ice age. Selected for use as a bear bating stone from which the beasts were secured by an iron ring in a lead plug. Originally located in the centre of the village in the middle of the market place where a taller memorial now stands. It is now situated between the historic buttermarket, a litter bin, and the imposing mound based Parish Church of St James the Great.
