This site features on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for St Austin’s Stone, High Hunsley, East Yorkshire. The TNA page includes images of the 1855 and 1890 OS maps showing the location of this legendary rock, together with local folklore. TNA adds: "The site was also surmounted by a cross at some time in its recent history, but this has gone. The earth mystery writer Philip Heselton (1986) told that the nearby Well was indeed a place connected to St. Austin’s Stone."
Pastscape Monument No. 64178, which says: "St. Austin's Stone, a mass of rock projecting from the side of a hill, stands in the vale about 1/2 mile N.E. of Drewton. It is supposed to have received its name from the visit of St. Augustine to the East Riding. A natural rock outcrop."
