Stockton Stone
Stockton Stone submitted by juamei : Full frontal (Vote or comment on this photo)
Standing Stone in Norfolk.
Situated on the edge of the A146 just before the Stockton sign as you come from Norwich. This is a sad little stone, missed no doubt by 99 percent of the people hurtling past on a reasonably busy A road.

I noticed there was the remains of an iron nail or something attached to the top of the stone, so it may have been moved from its original location or it may not be a genuine ancient stone at all.

I also see from the photos a huge gash in the side. Was this stone moved from a field?

I think you're a bit hard on this one with the ambience - it even has its own little lay-by. I rather like this - okay it's not prehistoric but standing stones are far and few between in East Anglia. According to Hidden East Anglia this stone was moved about 4m in 1935 - there was local misgivings due to a legend of a curse against it being moved and apparently one of the workmen died suddenly afterwards. Most likely a boundary or mark-stone - there's a record in the local church for work on it in 1632.
