| Dead Friar's Stone (Stanhope) | Marker Stone | England | County Durham | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Dead Friar's Stone, Stanhope: From Old Man's Grave, just north of this stone, this was our second stop of the day - a curiously named stone next to Dead Friar’s quarry. Amusingly, husband thought a great slab of concrete lying next to the car park was the stone lying on its side! We looked agai... Read More |

| Old Man's Grave (Edmunbyers) | Marker Stone | England | County Durham | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 3 | 2 | 4 | Old Man's Grave, Meadows Edge Road, Near Blanchland: We originally intended to go to Blanchland to look at a holy well marked on the OS map, not far from the town square, but the village show was on and it was impossible to park. We drove on across to the moors, intended to stop at a boundary stone... Read More |

| Edmundbyers Cross (Muggleswick) | Ancient Cross | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 2 | 3 | 5 | Remains of Edmundbyers Cross, Muggleswick: Marked in italic, old fashioned script on the OS map, I guess I was expecting something a little more exciting, such as a cross base with part of a shaft, but no. Just a cross base. Good job I knew what I was looking for as alongside the road there were o... Read More |

| Feldon Plain (Muggleswick) | Marker Stone | England | Northumberland | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Marker Stone, junction of Meadows Edge & B6278: Despite quite an intensive search, I’ve not found any information on the internet (checked Pastscape, Historic England, National Geograph, etc).
Marked ‘BS’ on the OS map, this impressively large stone (in comparison to the others we saw on th... Read More |

| Hunstanworth Moor north | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | County Durham | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Hunstanworth Moor North, Townhead: Being the day of the Blanchland and Hunstanworth Show, this road was very busy, and it was difficult to stop as the road was narrow and there were no obvious lay-bys or pull-off points (there being a nice ditch at the western side of the road and a steep bank up to...

| Hunstanworth Moor south | Standing Stone (Menhir) | England | County Durham | Visited | 28th Aug 2017 | 3 | 3 | 5 | Hunstanworth Moor South, Near Townhead: This stone is marked on the OS Map as ‘stone’, and was easily found, although it seems like a tall boundary marker along the road from Townhead to Rookhope. As we drove along the road, we passed the northern boundary stone (see below), which isn’t marke... Read More |
