One of my favourite places...I have held Stanton Moor in my heart for over half a century and visit at least twice a month...I thought you may have mentioned the Folklore about the Stone turning around at midnight which grants anyone watching the spectacle eternal life...Cheers Les.🙂👍
But no mention of the cut steps or the dog iron staples - ? Obviously someone decided to have a better view from the top, but it would be good to know who and maybe why.
The first thing I would do is have a look from the top. I have climbed ( scrambled up not exactly mountaineeing) a few of these rocks in the Staffordshire area where they are plentiful. Most dumped during one of the 3 ice ages we know of. Interesting video thanks.
What a find, brilliant.i understand why it's hidden away can you imagine the hordes of people coming to gawp and chamber over it. Well done and thanks for posting.
Thank you for the filming
I know Derbyshire very well but I’d never even heard of this rock . Thanks for sharing this.

Can't help- but notice the similarity in name to the Agglestone Rock in Dorset.

first of all remains the question: who put there? because someone PUT it there ... .
@@felice9907Glacial deposit - ? 🤔
@@felice9907 Has to be glacial movement as there probably wasn't any technology available at the time to shift such a large boulder the location.
@@felice9907 Almost certainly an ice age deposit.

People took pride in graffiti back then!
I take its either in an old glacier valley ? or the spaceship ran out of fuel on the way to Stonehenge and had to drop it early ?
Nice vid :)
Nigh on 50 years since I climbed up holds👍

Was that a Cetti's warbler in the background?

Glad to hear it, it's why I went there 😁
