Driving along the Kildale to Commondale road I noticed this fella standing on whats called by the OS, a cairn. It's a single stone on a raised platform, more of a tumulus than a cairn, but who am I to argue with the OS. I traipsed up to investigate, its only 2 minutes from the road. The stone is been standing there a long time judging from the weathering on his top. He stands approx 1.6m X 0.6m. It's not a cross stone and doesn't appear on the map as a boundary stone. There is some graffitti on the stone which says ?"B died here" Some party that must have been. |

An Awd Steean Stoup A grey steean stoup oot yonder stands, on t'hill-sahde bleak an cawd; It catches ivvery storm at blaws Fre t'dale an t'moorland rooad, A great steean posst, all weather-bet - There's few at kens hoo awd. "What use is sike?" Ah hear em say, When gauvin roond seea fond. If t'snaw-flags stoored upon yon moor, An you gat lost, mah frind, You might be wayant an pleased ti see Yon awd stoup set on end. F.W. Dowson |
