Wimblestone

Description

Dina. P. Dobson ‘The Archaeology of Somerset’ published 1931. 'In the parish of Shipham on Mendip there is, near the Star Inn, a stone known locally as the Wimblestone. It is 5 feet high, by 5 feet 5 inches wide at the base, where it is 1 foot 5 inches thick. Close by are five other large pieces of conglomerate. In the same field are three other fairly large stones with a stony ridge leading up to them. People in the neighbourhood believe there is treasure buried under the stone, and that at night it leaves its bed, and ranges up and down the country”.
