The Long Stone [Map]. Historic England

This monument includes a standing stone situated on the summit of a wide and gently undulating plateau. The standing stone survives as an upright earthfast slab of oolite measuring up to 2.1m high, 1.7m wide and 0.4m thick which is perforated by at least two large and several smaller holes. This gives it its local name of 'The Holey Stone'. Antiquarians suggested it was once part of a chamber in a long barrow along with other nearby (and now somewhat dispersed stones) although a recent geophysical survey could find no trace of such a feature. An even older local tradition suggested that children could be cured of rickets if they were passed through the holes.
