Description: Tim Jenkinson explains that near Garth the Tinner’s House, “the final stone to be described is found, some 100 metres from the waters’ edge. It is a fine moss covered example with a slightly misshapen central well 15cms deep and 16cms in diameter. This stone is once again smaller than the Wacka Tor specimens and contains sufficient flaws to justify its abandonment.

In November 2021, Max Piper and Tim failed to locate this stone, but it probably still does exist, likely buried in bracken. It is assumed that the millstone resides on the same side of Red Brook as Garth’s House.
