The Bridle Stone
Archaeology
Medieval standing stone.
The Ordnance Survey First Edition 1:2500 map of 1868 records 'Site of Chapel & Burial Ground' without a marker denoting the location; the wording is centred at SC20867093.
A stone set in the hedge to the south of the site is known locally as the 'bridle stone', and tradition holds that it was used to tether horses during funerals. The stone is a large, worn block of local rock perforated by a substantial hole. It is set in the top of the hedge at SC20937089.
