Wade's Stone (South) (Standing Stone / Menhir) — Fieldnotes |
|
Wade's Stone (South) is visible from the A174 at East Barnby. There is no public footpath. We parked opposite the entrance to the Training Centre (on Wade's Lane) and accessed through the gate that leads to a path that runs beside the Training Centre. Wades Stone is on a slight rise in the field in front of you. His vital statistics are similar to his brother 1km away 2m X 1m. He is not as weathered as his brother but does have one deep ?libation channel running from top to 1/4 way down. |

Situated in a field on Goldsborough Lane. Turn off the A174 at the East Barnby / Goldsborough cross road. The stone is in a field on your left approximately one kilometer down Goldsborough lane. The field is next to a small wood and at the entrance to Brockrigg Farm. Within a kilometer of the stone there are 3 round barrows, a Roman signal station and the other Wade's Stone. Wades stone stands about 2m tall and is roughly square with 1m wide faces. The top of the stone is weathered with deep ?libation channels running about 1/4 way down. The farmer had just been muckspreading when me and Timmo visited and the stoney chap was wearing a coat of crusty shit down one face. |
