MenuKing's Stone,The, Northumberland
The King's Stone is a late Neolithic/early Bronze Age standing stone, situated near Branxton in Northumberland. Also known as the 'Stone of Crookham More', it was used in the 16th century as a meeting place for raiders. In 1533 the garrisons of the border castles were ordered to meet here to avenge the burning of Cornhill and Wark. The name King’s Stone was given to the stone as tradition holds that it marks the spot where King James IV was killed at the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
