Seven Standing Stones
These seven large stones were delivered in 2000 and placed in a circle to mark the site of the original medieval village of Hockerton. The specific location for the stones is thought to have been a ‘turning yard’. The raised areas around here is where the medieval huts were located. A number of archaeological remains/finds were found here and on other parts of the site. In the adjacent field a clear ‘ridge and furrow’ system can be seen. Most of these stones are at least two tons in weight and came from stonemasons that had no further use for them.
