According to a transcript of the document, 'Perambulation of Baslow Boundary 1721', the Hurkling Stone is located on the boundary of the Manor of Baslow, and it bears the inscription XMB. The Hurkling Stone stands at the junction of the present day parish and district boundaries by two ancient walls. I have read that 'Hurkling' or 'Herklin' means to crouch and comes from the Old Norse language, the legacy of the Danish Viking settlement of this area.
