Natural Outcrop in Lincolnshire where the myth became the village name. There's a Romano-British settlement a few hundred yards to the south of the outcrop and the nearby Sheffield's Hill seems like a center for the trade of Lake District Langdale stone axes in the Neolithic, judging by the amount found in the region. There's not much above ground but the place is full of ancient history.

I came to wake the Dragon up - nice outcrop

This is worth a visit if you are passing the village (formerly known as Connersby Cliff) A rocky outcrop that forms the 'shape' of a dragon is found by visiting the High Street, between the terraced houses there is a path to find the rocks. Makes you smile, apparently it is natural :)
