An isolated outcrop of fell sandstone hidden in the forest. Its name may be a reference to the rock’s use as a gathering place. There is a set of cup marks in the stone on the lower right side of the rock which are thought to be man-made and could be over 4,000 years old.

Lovely little secluded rock formation in the trees with amazing views. Great place to take a rest and a bite to eat.
