Nelson Stone is now standing with a CBM in NW face. GPS indicated 3m SW of this, 3m S of brink of small quarry, at or near highpoint, position nicely settled for the half hour I was there. Uncovered sloping slab 2 inches down but no sign of bolt. Found rocks embedded in heathery highpoint and dug between them, nothing found but could be worth spending more time as seems obvious location. From NW, car park

described as BOLT in bedrock. GPS points to the rim of a small quarry on the opposite side of the tracks to a shooting lodge which has a CBM on the SE corner. The boundary "Nelson" stone lies on its side in the water-filled bottom of the quarry. Dig a trial pit to the bedrock, having had a look at the soil-bedrock profile in the quarry wall (its about 1.5' down). No sign, although one smallish standing stone was found on its side, buried, about 1m from the last remaining taller stone standing on site.

Snilesworth Moor GPS points to far side of water filed quarry. near the standing stone. Note the dressed standing stone on its side in the water
