Natural Stone / Glacial Erratic in Hertfordshire

Have named this puddingstone after the name of the yard it once stood in before site bulldozed by the local council in 2004 in preparation for the Jackson Square Shopping Development in the heart of the town.
Fortunately this stone was removed into storage and will be reinstated as part of a central feature later.
This was apparently the last of a few stones (at least as many as 3) that once stood in a line by the causeway of the ford facing the mound of Waytmore Castle, based upon memories of elderly resident.
