The name is said to derive from an 11 century Norman land owner, Robert de Heriz.
Visited with local historian Frank Earp and Nottingham University Engineering Dep't members. Access, with the permission of the farmer, is from the Cemetery on Cemetery Road, or through the gardens of properties on the odd numbered side. The disturbed surroundings had been a brick yard at some time in the recent past.
The south side has three recesses; one large, two small, and there's another on the north side which has brick walling to it. Standing upon the top of the rock, at an elevation of 62m, gives a panoramic view of the landscape over to the south, west and north. The spire of Stapleford's St. Helen's Church was seen to be on a bearing of 279°, what was probably an equinox alignment in the Neolithic perioid.
