Cuckoo Stone

Fieldnotes

Cuckoo Stone is thought to have originated from cock crow stone, this is another Derbyshire stone that is said to move around at dawn.
I have never been able to make my mind up about this stone, whether it is natural or erected. It was it's closeness to the lost Seven Brideron circle that got me thinking.
If J. Barnatt's grid reference for the Seven Brideron is to be believed this stone stands quite close to the site.
It stands on the 11th fairway at Matlock golf club, about 20yds from the path that cuts across it.
