Anne T couldn't find on 9th Jul 2022 Cross Stone of Keverigg: The location of the stone was clearly marked on the Historic England Map search map, but despite my husband clambering (very carefully) over the dry stone wall and stock fence at the eastern end of the access land, he was unable to find the stone. There was considerable growth of grass and weeds in the area, and plenty of moss and lichen on the surrounding stones. He did, however, find the Cross Shaped Stone that MonumentMan has submitted (SID 52464), 23m away.
Shown on the old and modern (2022) OS maps, this boundary stone, inscribed with a cross, is recorded on the Old Cumbria Gazetteer as Cross Stone of Keverigg.
Using the grid reference given, the location of the stone is shown on the Historic England Map Search as a small black circle; there is no record of it in the Heritage Gateway.
The stone is located almost at the junction of three dry stone walls, between the edge of the forestry and the dry stone wall/stock fence on its eastern side, and the Trainrigg Sike to its west. Please note that the stone is over the dry stone wall & stock fence from the access land, so some clambering is required to see it - please be careful not to damage any of the walls, which are already falling down in places.
We tried to find this stone in July 2022, but due to either the height of the grass, or the amount of moss/lichen on the stones in the area, were unable to identify this particular stone.
As MonumentMan says in his entry for the Cross Shaped Stone of Keverigg (Site ID 52464), there is an 11 year old photograph of the stone on Geograph - see Cross Stone of Keverigg.
