Crosby Standing Stone

Archaeology

This was the site of a now lost stone which may have been a large erratic boulder of felspathic sandstone or grit, but possibly a prehistoric standing stone which had been set up on end to mark the site of a burial place. It was inclined to the southeast and measured 1.7 metres high by 1.9 metres wide by 1.0 metre thick at the base and was approximate 1.0 metres square at the top. A number of small probable field clearing stones were placed around it. No trace of a mound was found. It was not a rubbing post.
