Could this refer to the same stone? The area sounds convincingly between Bratton and Edington.The following occurs in a Perambulation of the Hundred and Parish of Westbury, temp. Eliz., 1575:
"And so by a straight line between Eddington Field and Bretton's Field to a stone called 'Patten's Stone' (anciently Padcanstone; and so straight along the way to a little ball where once was a stone cross, called Lealland Cross, standing on the highway between Devizes and Warminster." A contribution on p278 of Wiltshire Notes and Queries, June 1894.
