Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Caratacus Stone: an inscribed stone 140m east of Spire Cross as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Likely dating to the Iron Age or Roman period, the Caratacus Stone may commemorate the British chieftain Caratacus, who resisted Roman invasion in the 1st century AD. It may have served as a boundary marker, memorial, or site of local folklore associated with ancient resistance.
