What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records The Whit Stones: two standing stones 230m west of Whitstone Post 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 Late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age, the Whit Stones may have functioned as markers for territorial boundaries, ceremonial alignments, or astronomical observations. Local folklore sometimes associates such stones with protective or supernatural powers, though specific traditions connected to this site are not widely recorded.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
