An ancient stone in the churchyard of Selston Parish Church resembles the monoliths of Arbor Low (suggests church was built on a Druid's circle). (1)
The stone is visible in the churchyard on the N side of the church. It stands upright, bedded in turf, with no sign of a socket stone or base. It is 1.0m high, 0.5m wide, and 0.2m thick with a battered top. There is no evidence of decoration but the stone has been worked to its rectangular section and dressing lines can be seen on it. (3)
The stone was removed from the foundations of the church in 1905. (4)
The surrounding area has been cleared and returfed. (5)
Locally Listed by Ashfield District Council (ADC Ref: 263) (6).
