BENTHAM, West Riding

The Big Stone

Picture
The Big Stone is an erratic boulder named on the OS map as Great Stones of Fourstones, but there is only one. It marked the boundary of West Riding and Lancashire.

Legend has it that Fin McColl hurled it in a fit of anger. Perhaps it was debris from the Isle of Man when he threw it from Ireland.
