History
A modern stone consisting of Shap pink granite. During the summer of 2019, it was caught by a tractor wheel and dislodged from the banking, falling into the track during haymaking. Becoming wedged between the tractor and a trailer loaded with hay, it took two brothers to lift the stone back onto the bank and out of the way.
It remained there until 2024, when Calum first discovered the stone and rolled it back down into the track, determined to see if he could replicate the feat and lift it back onto the bank solo.
