Discovery:first mentioned, 1797 Badcock, S.
History:Okasha/1993, 193: `The stone was recorded in 1797 by Polwhele but even then was lost. Polwhele stated...`about ten or twelve years since, it was made the foundation of a little bridge, on the rivulet where it originally stood'. The bridge was widened in 1864 but Chanter and Worth, writing in 1905, thought it probable that the stone was still there. Grinsell recorded that the bridge was partially destroyed in 1952 `so it is doubtful whether this stone can ever be recovered'.'
