Name Origin
The word nook comes from Old English noc, meaning a corner, recess, or secluded spot. It also connects to the Old Norse hnúka, meaning a projecting hill or crag—a likely influence given Viking presence in Lancashire. In British placenames, “nook” often denotes a small valley, a corner of land, or a sheltered hollow beside a hill.

Stone Placement
Discovered and placed by @dances_with_stones below the dry-stone wall to the side of the path below the Nicky Nook Fell 100m on from its brother stone the Nicky Stone.
