One small addition which may open up another line of research.

Whirl Stones of Windy Arbour, eh?

There's the suggestion that Roman Leominche runs by it and Roman Mediomanum sits on it + Mucklestone area + Bradling Stone, Norton-in-Hales, + "Bearstone" (Barley or Ursa?).

The idea the Finger quoit is a resite comes from the water marks on it (NSJFS 1965, page 44).
