This is the "cork stone" on OS maps i.e. it looks like a cork in a bottle. No mention of the Druids stone used for Sky burials. What are the Hallow E'en mystics missing!!

I would just like to confirm that the Cat Stone is still on Stanton Moor, along with a large number of other natural and man made objects dating back to the Bronze age.

    the Cat Stone/Cork Stone is bedrock. It will not falldown easily. Athelstan
