Farley Moor
Standing Stone / Menhir

HER No.: 9871

A standing stone was identified in woodland on Farley Moor, at c. SK 29966302. It was reported as standing over 6ft tall. The stump of another was said to be a little distance away; no grid reference was provided for this second stone.

The 1st edition 25” Ordnance Survey map of c. 1880 marks ‘Stone’ at this site, which at that time was open moorland. Nothing is shown on the 2nd edition.
