High Ireby Standing Stone
High Ireby Standing Stone submitted by nicoladidsbury : High Ireby Standing Stone I spotted this stone close to my parents farm, and am wondering if it could be a standing stone. There are possibly two? more further down the field, and made me wonder if it was a stone row. Photo taken on full zoom. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Possible Standing Stone in private field, which can be viewed from the road. There are other stones visible - stone row - or field boundary...

Lies between hamlets of High Ireby and Ruthwaite
