The Longstone of Mottistone

Standing Stone / Menhir

Folklore

"A child might easily swing the great stone backwards and forwards, but a 'mighty man' with great strength would fail to move it if he had 'guilt on his soul'."

(Adrean Searle, in 'Isle of Wight Folklore' (1998) -he doesn't state where he's quoting from)
