I'm still helping my mate on land drainage repair. We found a 2" clay pipe with 4" collars today 6' down. Wandered why it curved in the trench. Came across a massive boulder 😂😂

Is it an old mill or something nearby. Cider press?

Derbyshire millstone grit, all round this area loads of millstones half or fully finished used to be produced here, logo of the peak park as well. Tree growing out of one here
they'd clear a pretty penny around here @Giles :cool:

This is just up from where we are, bole hill quarry is above us. All the stone for ladybower, howden and Derwent to dams was quarried there.
