Long Stone (Staunton)

Standing Stone / Menhir

Celia Hadon describes the Long Stone at Staunton on her web site and recounts a legend about the stone:

Tradition says that if it is pricked by a pin on the dot of midnight, it bleeds.

Not the most original folk tale, but interesting none the less. [An older citing is Alfred Watkins' classic 'Old Straight Track' of 1925].
