5/260 Grindstone Circle and grindstone, in garden to rear of No. 12

II

Grindstone circle with large heavy grindstone. Possibly C18. Outer rim of circle formed by vertically bedded stones. Circle of hollowed stones are shaped like voussoirs. Inner circle of stones rises to centre with a square hole sunk at junction of a cross. Between the arms of the cross, diagonally set cobbles. Originally for grinding sand from the sandstone outcrop of nearby Knowl Wood Delph Quarries whose stone was used in the construction of Rochdale Town Hall. A rare and complete survival.
