Description
The structure known locally as the "Plague Stone" is located at the junction with Sandy Gate Lane. It is likely from the late medieval period and is made of sandstone. The stone consists of two roughly-hewn slabs, each approximately 1 metre wide, with one slab mounted on top of the other. In the center of the upper slab, there is a square socket that would have held a former cross shaft. Historically, "plague stones" were used for sterilizing coins in vinegar, typically situated at or near parish boundaries.
