I have always called them barn stones, but their correct name is staddle stones. They were used to raise wooden buildings above wet ground, or to protect corn and animal feeds in the building from attack by rodents as they could not manage to climb around the flat stone. I have also heard of wooden frames set on barn stones with sheaves of cereal stacked on top. Again to protect from damp and rodents. In this after life they are used to keep vehicles off the grass!

Dist:0.9km<br/> Lord Rodneys Monument is on the top of one of these hills. Lord Rodney was an Admiral and the monument was built by the gentlemen of Montgomeryshire who supplied oak from the area & shipped them down the river Severn to Bristol where Admiral Rodney's fleet was built.

Dist:0.9km<br/>Many of the smaller lanes in this area have a green strip down the centre but this lane consists of two concrete strips with a soft centre green strip. I don't know how old it is but it is generally in very good condition.
