The Muckle Stane (Monkton)
Natural Rock Feature

At the Cross is The Hare Stane, moved here from its original site in a field off Charles Avenue. The boulder had a long tradition of witchcraft and evil spirits associated with it, but in 2000 it was moved to its present position and a sealed “Millennium Box” placed beneath it.
