Prehistoric Way Marker or Glacial Erratic, Oddendale, Cumbria, Lake District, 4.11.17.Located within a very close distance to the Oddendale Stone Circle, this large glacial erratic sits on the limestone pavement. It is tempting to think that this stone might have been intended as one of the original orthostats; the deep line markings are quite distinctive and may be man-made. Perhaps it was too large and was rejected as one of the circle stones? The landscape is strewn with similar but smaller stones. Whatever its purpose, it must have formed a distinctive feature on the ancient landscape. -- source link
