Dist:0.4km<br/>The stones of the cairn are securely cemented in place. The fine display of heather on the moor is beginning to fade.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This seems to have been a farm called Spring Beck in 1850, then Spring Rock in 1895, and with the word 'Inn' added in c.1935 (from OS six-inch maps).

Dist:0.4km<br/>With a grand gatepost; there is a matching one half-hidden in the hedge to the left.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Looking SW.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Defaced, with placenames and mileages chiselled away. The left face should read 'Rochdale 13', and the right face 'Elland 2½'.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This face has the word 'Eland'; the old spelling of Elland was Ealand, and this is half way between the two.
©Humphrey Bolton
Dist:0.4km<br/>The word 'Norland' can just be seen.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This junction has an old guide stone on the corner. The Spring Rock Inn is nearby. The sign board is for the Greetland Allrounders, which is a Rugby League club.

Dist:0.5km<br/>But what is that tall slender stone on the left? I went to investigate: see [[992724]].
©Humphrey Bolton
Dist:0.5km<br/>I doubt these are prehistoric, else they would be on the OS maps. I suspect that they are made of stones from the quarry nearby.

Dist:0.5km<br/>The wall on the right (north side) of lane is the boundary between Barkisland and Greetland. It is Elland bridleway 68.
©Humphrey Bolton
Dist:0.5km<br/>The denomination is not shown on the old six-inch maps and has been erased from the plaque over the door.
