From Pastscape:
"A large piece of red sandstone conglomerate known locally as the Drummer Boys Grave Stone or Drummer Boys Stone is located 350 yards north of Blackpool Bridge. It contains two artificial hollows - one of which is partly filled with iron which has firmly adhered to the stone. In the bed of the small stream, to the immediate east of the stones are fragments of iron slag. The stone seems to have been used as a mortar stone for crushing ore. The location of the furnace could not be found. "
