Natural Stone / Erratic / Other Natural Feature in Lancashire
These legendary rocks are featured on The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) - see their entry for Pots and Pans Stone, Greenfield, Lancashire, which gives directions for finding this site, together with an image of the 1854 OS map showing the location of this outcrop, and local folklore.
TNA adds: "Local tradition also tells that the naturally-worn ‘bowls’ atop of the rocks held magical properties — water being collected from them was said to be good to cure eye problems. This is a curative theme we find at some bullauns, cup-marked stones and old cross-bases and would strongly indicates that pre-Christian practices did once take place here."
