What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records The Calderstones: six monoliths decorated with rock art 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 Calderstones are likely from the Neolithic or Bronze Age and may have had ceremonial or ritual significance, as suggested by their alignment and carved symbols. Local folklore associates them with ancient legends, though specific meanings remain unclear.
