The stone had to be moved due to ongoing mining operations. Thanks to Mark Fenlon, the stone was repositioned (close to the Hemerdon Mine excavations where it would be safe) and there is a fabulous cut benchmark at the bottom. A public bridleway runs right up to this and provides an enjoyable route.
