Blidworth Rocks, c 1/2 mile from the church. The devestation of a century ago diminished their number but the chief survives as 2 masses of conglomerate. One is in a hollow, the other rests upon a natural platform to which a rude and roughly circular form has been given. They are glacial erratics, traditionally named the Druid's Stones, and may have been used for a sepulchral or religious purpose. (1)
There is no evidence of archaeological finds having been made at or near these stones. They are a geological feature and similar deposits can be seen exposed in local quarries and cuttings. (3)
Part of the local Bunter sandstone formation. (4)
