There are at least seven staddle stones here, protruding from the now boggy ground. In a small field, beyond an old holloway and now largely obscured by a tree is where several staddle stones can be found. Staddle stones or steddle stones were originally used as supporting bases to protect granaries, hayricks, game larders etc. from vermin and water seepage.
