Enigmatic Hollow near Cross Dike

Uploader's Comments

Some two hundred feet further along the track from the Cross Dike at NZ 60795 06711 is what Stanhope White in his 1987 book Standing Stones and Earthworks of the North Yorkshire Moors describes as an Enigmatic Hollow.He believes it to be clearly artificial and therefore man made.He also believes it must have been made by rubbing, presumably to grind corn but then again he thinks why use a natural boulder and not a quern in ones house.Anyway something to ponder on. This view was taken in the first week of August 2013 looking towards Easby Moor and the Teesside Plain
