Description
The Toolerstone is a medieval boundary stone that marks the north-west boundary of the lands of Vale Royal Abbey, where they meet Delamere Forest. This sandstone marker is believed to be in roughly its original location.
Situated on a raised bank on the south side of Hunt's Lane, which is visible as a hollow way, the Toolerstone is approximately 26 meters east of Weaverham Road. It is a square stone that stands about 1 meter tall. The upper part of the stone is heavily worn and features eroded patterns or markings that may be later graffiti. Additionally, a small arrow has been spray-painted on the lower part of the stone's north face. The stone is mounted on a concrete plinth, which was added when the stone was returned to the site in 1930; this plinth is mostly obscured by vegetation and large sandstones placed in front, serving as a low retaining wall.
