Fairy Stones
Fairy Stones submitted by cavers35 : Close up of The Fairy Stones (Vote or comment on this photo)
Natural rock outcrop located on open access land in Fairy Dale. A rarity on The Wolds to find anything other than chalk. The only other rock outcrop I know of is St Austin’s Stone in East Yorkshire.

At least 6 Barrows nearby including the famous Duggleby Howe
