Midgley Moor Standing Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

daveyravey Feb 17, 2004

A 4 foot standing stone it is heavily weathered. It is supported at the base by smaller stones and appears to have been re-erected. It is very close to Miller’s grave and to the south of another standing stone dated from the 18th century called the Greenwood Stone, a boundary stone bearing the date 1775.

Peter Evans, who is studying the standing stones of this area describes this stone as apparently a “standing stone from the Bronze Age, possibly at the centre of a stone circle and probably recently re-erected”.
