The stone is described as whinstone so presumably is dolerite which originated from the Whin Sill outcrops. The Sill can be seen in outcrops all over the north and can be seen from Eastern Cumbria to the Northumbrian coast. It is this rock from which the beautiful, group XVIII, axe hammers are made.
