present position. The whinstone and diorite may have come from 
the west, and the sandstone from the north-west ; probably about 
forty miles distant. Height about 150 ft. above sea-level. 
3. Boulder of Shap granite; measuring 2 ft. 11 in. long, 
2 ft. 6 in. broad, 2 ft. 1 in. thick. In the parish of Ganton, near 
Scarborough, on the estate of Sir C. Legard, Ganton Hall, now forming 
the corner-stone on the premises belonging to the Greyhound Inn. Is 
a large Shap boulder. It is from subangular to rounded, and is oblong 
in shape. There are no indications of any strize or grooving. It 
has been a sort of trysting-stone for generations. An old man 
remembers when he first came to the village, sixty-two years ago, 
this stone was then at the junction or angle of the road, and from 
this position anyone could be seen approaching the village by the 
highway. It was removed across the road to its present position in 
1853. It formerly stood at the north corner of the village lane 
joining the highway. Height, about 60 ft. above the sea. The 
formation on which the boulder rests is composed of beds of sand to 
a great depth ; there is occasionally a band of rough angular flint 
intermixed, but generally speaking the whole district about here is a 
huge sand-bed.
