Despite living close to the Goyt Valley I didn't know about this stone, although I must have walked past it at least once.
And it's located next to a track. I wonder if it was once a waymarker, leading folk over the ridge which was possibly a safer and easier route than the valleys either side.
I did note some marks on it that look man-made;
Polo wasn't impressed, he gave the stone a good barking at!
I also visited St. Joseph's Shrine, located nearby;
Even though I'm not in any way religious I'm glad that this little shrine exists.
A nice afternoon, with buzzards and skylarks for company.
Paul.
