Great Stone of Fourstones, Glacial erratic at Tatham Fells border, England.
The Great Stone of Fourstones stands 18 feet tall on the moors at the edge of the Forest of Bowland between North Yorkshire and Lancashire.
The stone appears in John Cary's New and Correct English Atlas from 1793, marking the ancient boundary between Tatham and Bentham parishes.
Local stories tell that the devil dropped this massive stone while traveling to construct Devil's Bridge at nearby Kirkby Lonsdale.
Visitors reach the stone by following the route south from High Bentham along Thickrash Brow, with fourteen carved steps leading to its summit.
Two circular holes measuring 2 inches in diameter and depth mark the top of this geological formation, transported by ice thousands of years ago.
