Background

Description

The Calderstones are six neolithic sandstone monoliths that formed part of a burial monument 4,000 years ago. They are a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. The nearby Robin Hood's Stone was originally also one of the Calderstones, and has been relocated.
