Dane's Stone


This large stone stands just to the north-west of the village of Moulin, in the field where the Moulin Market used to be held in days gone by. The stone stands some 2.1m tall by 1.3m wide at it’s widest point. The stone is 0.6m thick at the top, increasing to 0.9m thick at the base.

Coles reported in 1908 that several more stones were said to have stood in the field, all smaller than the existing stone, but were now half buried. However no trace of these other stones has been found.
