The Rent Stone
The Rent Stone submitted by cumbrianlad : The Rent Stone, ancient offering site? (Vote or comment on this photo)
A large erratic, where people would leave their rent, possibly in remnant of it being an ancient site. Towards the woods from the site, there is also a wall of megalithic proportions. At least parts of the wall may be very old.
