According to local bods, this is a dwelling enclosure, not a stone circle.

This is where the Devil is said to have trodden, leaving a scorched imprint on the stone. Other sites relating to where footprints occur suggest that kings, queens and shamen were ordained.
Info from Mr Bennet's fine work "The Old Stones of Elmet"

The stone is claimed to spin round three times on New Year's Eve. It is said to be named after a milk-maid who died whilst carrying milk to the villages here. There is also a legend that a penny placed on the stone will bring good luck.
