The 3 ft high holed stone at this location, by the side of a footpath, was notified to The Society of Ley hunters by Mr Graham Clitheroe of Blackburn. It appears to have some significant alignments across it.

Very interesing holed stone Esgt. I have come across many of these standing stones, some maybe being used as gateposts, but others harder to explain. A few may be medieval in date and being used by gatherings of local people for passing objects and money through the hole - a sort of local bartering and bargaining perhaps. Others may be boundary stones or marker stones. But as I say they are interesting.
