Brampton Stone
Brampton Stone submitted by foxhallfool : Brampton Stone july 2024 (Vote or comment on this photo)
Only just discovered this stone a few hundred yards from Brampton Railway Station. I would think its not an ancient stone & although information on it is very scarce there is mention that it could have been placed there by a land owner etc. In a county of no standing stones this really does look the part, standing about 7 ft high & perfectly weathered.

If local-ish go give it a look & add comments or your thoughts . You can park at Brampton Station (or arrive by train) & looking back south towards Halesworth cross the road & follow the footpath by the side of the railway line over a small bridge & keep walking until you see the Stone in the field off to your right which you can enter via a gate as it is part of the Halesworth/Brampton walk .
