Full Description
The Sarsen Stone Survey of 1974-5 prompted a search for the site of Hangman's Rocks, noted by both Anbrey and Hutchins, and shown on the 1765 Bedford Estate Map as 3 stones. A thorough search revealed one sarsen 3m long by 1m wide lying in a hedge bank, doubtless the remains of the Hangman's Rock group. <1-3>
