Taken from Stewart, L., Nash, G. and Cowell, R. The Calderstones - A Prehistoric Tomb in Liverpool [ISBN 9781527284685]
Interesting comment suggesting that the Robin Hood Stone was one of the original Calderstones but was moved by a farmer when road widening disturbed the site of the original tomb:
Page 43
"Much of the [Calderstones] mound was destroyed when a road running adjacent to the site was widened. Documentary evidence states: 'little hut or cellar' formed by stones, a cartload or two of burnt burnt bones were also found, although no artefacts were reported. The stones were laid aside on a farm, and some were later set up in a circle near their original site at the roadside by the entrance to the park. One is reported as having been taken by a Mr Booker and set up as a rubbing stone for his cattle, reportedlt the Robin Hood Stone. On a map of 1772 the former field where the Robin Hood Stone originally stood was already called Stone Hey, suggesting it was placed there before 1772."
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
