Notes: This boundstone and its close neighbour are a bit of a mystery because although there are some low rocks here none are particularly significant. At the NGR there is a loose rock that, when stood up, does resemble a boundstone and with the Left Lake China Clay Works being so close it may have been removed/repositioned.
Steve Grigg (2022) writes: “Shown on side-by-side (1873 map) as south of Leftlake (stream). Lots of 20th century clay workings so I conclude the BS was swallowed up. The Dartefacts labelled No57 is really just a small rock in my humble opinion and whose size and shape is out of keeping with all the other BSs.”
This was before the visit by Max Piper and Paul Rendell in November 2020. The industry here totally changed the landscape and it is difficult knowing what hasn’t been touched. (MP)
Notes: There is only one stone here, a little off the original NGR I had, that is completely buried but looks to be quite deep. Given the peat in this area, this may well be the boundstone in question and the NGR has been ‘fixed’ there.
Steve Grigg (2022) writes: “The only stone in the area, as described on Dartefacts. It doesn’t in my opinion look like a B.S. Interestingly, the location of the B.S would have been very close to the mica drags at Left Lake and it is not inconceivable that the 20th century clay workers used it.”
