Standing Stone (Menhir) in Yorkshire (West)
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this standing stone - see their entry for Hare Hill Stone, Oakworth, West Yorkshire.
TNA include directions for finding this stone, which is to be found near the bottom of one of the fields diagonally across from the old farmhouse of Laverock Hall, and a photograph. TNA add: "There seems to be no written accounts of this stone; though until all of the local field-name maps have been checked, we can’t discount the possibility that this is the “standing stone” described in early place-name records that was mentioned by A.H. Smith in 1963."
