What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Murder Stone: a standing stone 150m north west of Cornfield Farm 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 Bronze Age or earlier, the stone may have had ceremonial or territorial significance. Local folklore refers to it as the "Murder Stone," suggesting a historical or legendary association with violence or execution.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
