Large erratic, named The Ull Stone. Presumably the name and site has some special significance, perhaps ancient. Ull is a name frequently found in North West England, sometimes the etymology is thought to mean 'wolf', from Norse ulfr, but in many cases the etymology suggests Ullr, the name of a Nordic deity.
According to some sources, Ullr was an earlier Norse God associated with agriculture, and it seems that Ullr was an important deity in England as much as in Scandinavia.
This erratic is very impressive in appearance, and worth the walk, even though the walk is rather long one.
The alternative name Ullsteinin is what the original Norse pronunciation likely was, pronounced "Ull-stayn-n".
