Traces of ancient mud cracks

The boulder shown in the foreground measures about 7m by 4m, and is located in NS3678 : The former Fairy Knowe Quarry. It bears a curious pattern of raised ridges; for a description of these, and for a much closer look at the surface of the boulder, see NS3678 : Traces of ancient mud cracks.

The former Fairy Knowe Quarry :: NS3779

The site was formerly a hill called Fairy Knowe, but it became a quarry at the end of the nineteenth century. It has long been disused. Its name may possibly represent the same superstitions as were associated with Havoc Cave: Link
