Toad's Mouth Rock, an aptly named boulder located at Burbage Bridge on the A6187 and close to the Sheffield/Derbyshire boundary.

There are a couple of nice round and oval cairns behind the Toad's Mouth and what looks to be a prehistoric field system with linear clearance banks further over toward the edge of Burbage Brook.
