Description Within the view presented of this field once stood The Boltstone. No trace survives, it seems, as the farmer destroyed it looking for fabled treasure beneath it in 1839 - so the story goes. Not far to the NW of Kinver hillfort, off Bannut Tree Lane, near the footpath shown cutting across the field.

The 1852 tithe map shows this field named as "Long Boltstone", 13 years after the stone's destruction.

Lovely cloud light on the golden field.

Yes aluta, I took several others with better angles, but just for this one shot the westering sun shone through the clouds, so I chose this for the light.
