No, I can't see a thing off those. I know where you mean though. I did think I'd found a pair of Celtic gateposts four or five years ago, under a hedge in Moss Bank Park, about this time of year. But they're Victorian - worth hundreds - and still there. Then there's a carved stone trough behind Johnson Fold School - six foot by three foot - that's worth a bob or two too. But we reckon that stone wall down that side of Harpers Lane is 1930's and constructed from the stone of a drystone wall that was there previously. In the local history newsletter - archived at Bolton Local Studies - there's the reproduction of an old photo that shows it. It's about as blurry as yours is !

i know its bad quality its taken whilst in a rush but have a look as there are some very crude diamond shaped carvings on it and it reminded me of some of the irish passage grave art. Its far to crude to be modern!
Maybe its only medieval i dunno but its certaintly old!

Peace

P.s. next time i'll park the car!
