My initial thought was boundary stone, as the boarder between Yorkshire and Derbyshire runs through this area. But after looking at your pics, I'm not so sure, as it seems to show signs of vertical weathering, which means it could have been stood for a very long time... plus the fact that there is no shortage of prehistoric activity in the area.

Very interesting. I was planning a jaunt up to Derwent Edge, the Wheel Stones and Salt Cellar quite soon anyway, so will look out for this and have a good poke around.


That's right Ken, there are a line boundary stones that straddle Derwent Moor across Strines Edge down through Moscar and along Stanage Edge, this section of path is about 1/2 mile west of the boundary that intersects the Moscar estate, just on the side of the main path on the way up to the Wheel Stones. The weathering had me intrigued too, however it also has a very regular cornered shape at the bottom on one side. Hope you find it.
