The grass in the field had just been cut for silage, and the stones lie is a long curved strip of high grass.
You can just make out one of the stones nestling in the grass... (if you look really hard!)

Cop Stone submitted by nicoladidsbury on 16th Feb 2005. Cop Stone, Moor Divock, Near Askham
OS NY 4959 2160
We approached Moor Divock on bike, setting off from Askham, via Whale, Helton and Heltonhead, so I was a little bit tired....
The bridleway over the moor was smooth, level and firm, excellent for bike riding. We spotted the Cop Stone off to the right and, abandoning the bikes, we walked over springy turf and heather to investigate. The stone is aproximately 1.20m, and leaning to the north.

Glassonby submitted by nicoladidsbury on 13th Mar 2005. Glassonby Cairn Circle.
Beautiful, peaceful, teaming with wildlife, remote and serene.
Until a great big 4x4 came across the field and informed me the land was private and that I should have asked for permission.
The ambience was gone in an instant, Katie was quite shaken.
Please take my advice and try to get permission to visit. Then at least you can relax and enjoy the site to the full.

The polished granite stone is inscribed with the curse, which was cast on all the reivers of the English/Scottish borders in the 16th Centuary.
The names of those reivers are inscribed in the stones that make up the floor of the millenium walkway, Armstrongs, Grahams, Robsons, Elliotts, and Kerrs to made a few.
