Solomon's Tomb, Liverpool |

This is marked on the 1840 1in. OS map at approx SJ 391 865. This is about 1km from both the Calderstones (which are shown on the same map), and Robin Hood's Stone (which isn't). Solomon's Tomb is not marked on larger-scale maps from the later 1840s, which do mark Robin Hood's Stone.
The name (and the proximity to a group of ancient sites) seems suggestive of a monument of some sort, but it seems to be unrecorded and undiscussed in any of the learned papers on the Calderstones etc.
Of course, it could just be a field name, but does anyone have any info?

Hi Gareth - I recommend contacting Paul and / or Vicky from this site; it is an area they know of very well. If they don't know of it, I am sure they would be most interested in your information!
Cheers
Tim
