Details of stone on Pastscape

SS 862410. A standing stone 0.4m high and leaning to the east was recorded at the north end of Hoar Moor in 1981. (1)
A standing stone, at SS 8621 4106, lies in an area of heather and rushes, on a slight south slope at 454 metres O.D. It comprises a sandstone post, 0.2 metres by 0.25 metres in section, and 1.2 metres long with a chisel-form top. The stone now leans to the north east and is 0.6 metres high; a sheep worn hollow around the base has exposed two or three possible trigg stones and few loose stones.
