Something of a mystery, little seems to be known about this stone which is named in Gothic script on Ordnance Survey maps. It lies at the corner of a wood just off a public footpath. As the photographs show one face possesses a deeply incised cross. A pair of 'long stoops' is shown at approximately this location on John Ogilby's 1675 map of the York to Lancaster road. However if this stoop is indeed one of those then it must have been moved as it lies about half a mile from the current A59 - as this is a Roman road just here it is almost certain to be in the same location as it was in the C17th! Probably a waymark of some sort and almost certainly not a Christianised menhir - but interesting and so perhaps worthy of inclusion on Megalithic.
