What is recorded here
That is a standing stone, not a castle chamber or hidden room. It stands 770m south-east of Swinburne Castle in Northumberland, recorded as a scheduled monument. Whether people once tied horses there, marked a boundary, or simply watched the sky from that spot, the stone still occupies its own place beside the castle rather than belonging to it.
The National Heritage List for England records Standing stone, 770m south-east of Swinburne Castle 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.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
