What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Long Stone or Eddystone, standing stone 210m north east of Music Water 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.
Probably dating to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Long Stone or Eddystone may have functioned as a boundary marker, ceremonial monument, or astronomical alignment feature. Little specific folklore is recorded, though such stones often feature in local legends as sites of ancient power or fairy activity.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
