Description
Long time coming in getting to this stone! Found out about it about 2005, and got visit earlier this week.
In Paul Devereux's book "Places of Power" pages 121-2 he records this diminished standing stone known as The Fairy Stone (AKA The Devil's Stone). It has a long tradition of fairy lights associated with it, and an account of someone walking past the stone one night getting the fairy lights stuck to his trousers. On getting home he found the trousers to be scorched - according to the tale... Or did he invent the story to explain why he maybe got his best trousers damaged? The stone is said to be situated close to a geological fault.
