Holyfield Puddingstone submitted by Thorgrim on 28th Oct 2003. Puck's Stone in Holy Field near Waltham Abbey. TL 387030.

High Laver Puddingstone submitted by J_Russell on 24th Mar 2010. The stone appears to have been moved to its present position where it lies against the wall of the farmhouse to the North of the church. It has also been painted white. There is no access to the stone, which is on private land, but it is visible from the churchyard.

Halangy Down Settlement submitted by Thorgrim on 1st Jul 2003. Iron Age courtyard house settlement similar to Chysauster. Situated on St Marys at SV 90981237, it overlooks the sea and is below the much older Bant's Carn entrance grave.

Log Text: In the summer of 1971 I spent two weeks on an archaeological dig on Halangy Downs, directed by the late great Paul Ashbee and his wife Richmal. The only thing I can remember unearthing was a perfectly chiselled stone ball, which I was first told was a Roman ballista missile, but later turned out to be a tool for grinding corn in a quern. I think it ended up as a paperweight on the director's desk....

Grimes Puddingstone submitted by GrimKnapper2650 on 14th Jun 2024. Found this when exploring the Black Hole/Marl pit. Unsure whether it is the stone but it matches somewhat to the earlier image.

Great Missenden Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 26th Sep 2017. This so-called 'puddingstone', at the corner of Hyde Farm, is in fact a plain sarsen, without a trace of a pebble. It measures 66cm x 22cm x 60cm high.

Fordstreet Puddingstone

Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2016. My rating: Condition 3 Ambience 3 Access 4
Fordstreet Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 17th Sep 2016. The other Ford Street stone mentioned is at TL 92048 26980, at the corner of The Old Bakery (a former shop), next to the Queen's Head pub. Where the black paint has worn away it can be seen that this isn't a puddingstone, and measuring only 40 x 20 x 5cm high, it's ridiculously small to have been a markstone.

Fordham Puddingstone
Date Added: 29th Sep 2017
Site Type: Marker Stone
Country: England (Essex)
Visited: Yes on 15th Jul 2016. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 3 Access 5
Fordham Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 17th Jul 2016. The stone now at the side entrance to Rams Farm, Fordham, moved from the farmyard in the 1960's. It measures 110 x 50 x 130cm high and is pure sarsen, with no sign of any pebbles at all - so it should never have been part of Rudge's 'Puddingstone Track'.

Drakestone Green Puddingstone submitted by willowman1 on 30th Sep 2016. The 'puddingstone' at Drakestone Green, as I saw it back in the 1980's, actually a ferruginous conglomerate. It's now hidden under a hedge, but the current owner tells me that it's about a metre high, and that there's a similar stone not far away at Ropers Green.

Bradenham Puddingstone submitted by thecaptain on 20th Oct 2006. The village green at Bradenham is surrounded by lumps of the local puddingstone, a geological oddity related to sarsen, and of which lumps were thought to have been used as prehistoric trackway markers throughout the south of England.

Beauchamp Roding Puddingstone submitted by Thorgrim on 25th Oct 2003. Legend tells that the stone stood on a hill top some distance from the intended site of the church. When the stone was dragged to this site to be incorporated into the church structure, it returned overnight to the hilltop. This happened three times and eventually the church was relocated and built on the hilltop so that the stone could remain undisturbed.
