    Rescued comment from Hamish

    First mention of the stone by John Stratchey in 1730, it was known by the name of "Wook's Cait".
    It is not easy to find but once you are at the Yarberry farm ask the land owner for permission. There are guardian geese here who do not like intruders so be careful. The farmer/wife said that a lot of dowsers visit who report all sorts of results. The site seems to align with Wimblestone , the lost circle of Chew and eventually Stanton Drew. If you can locate it it's well worth a look.
