Details of stone on Pastscape
In about 1903 Passmore noted that there was formerly at the N. end of the Nightingale Farm a large slab of stone which bore the impression of a human foot. Known as the "Devil's Footprint" it had been destroyed before Passmore's time and the information came to him from his father, and "old Daniel Skinner", who had assisted in breaking up the longstones. (SU 18 SE 31). Nightingale Farm is at SU 166815. There is now no remembrance of the stone, which would have been above a 1/2 mile from Longstones Field. The authenticity is slight but notable because of the parallel in the recently discovered footprints on a B.A. cist slab at Pool Farm on the Mendips. (1)
