Image of Holdens Farm Barrows (Round Barrow(s)) by Stoneshifter

This stone is certainly one of the Brown Stones stone row and probably was once stood upright. The carved grooves are within the rock art lexicon and are not to be confused with glacial erosion. This hefty lump of Millstone Grit has yet to be visited by an archaeologist.
