Hi Folks,

Well that is something i thought when i visited the poppingstone a few months back. It looks like a stone that has been naturally eroded through the action of water when the river was perhaps higher. Is a standing stone not something that has been placed in a position by man?..this stone or rock looks natural to me, dumped in its place by nature many a year ago. It may have some romantic folklore behind it, but it ain't a standing stone.

i could be wrong though.....
