Just like any other ordinary stone in a field. What is so special about it, no information, nor you can get close to it, as it is fence around it.

It's nice to find a site that you don't have to walk for miles over moorland to visit. The Galloway Stone is just such a site. Simply leave the M6 at J39 for Shap, turn left for Orton after 0.5 miles, follow the Orton road for 1.8 miles parallel to the M6. Take the right turn to Salterwath dead-end lane just before the M6 underpass. The Galloway Stone lies c. 50 yards to the left after 100 yards along this lane. It looks like a large chunk of Shap Pink Granite so it can't be an erratic from Galloway. The explanation for it's name may be that it was a marker on the Old Scotch Drove Road for turning onto the Galwaithegate or Galloway Road. As an additional point of interest there is an Ordnance Survey Bench Mark Bolt on The Galloway Stone denoting a height of 98.8m.

this rocks

By far one of the best stones I’ve visited, during my 7 month tour of the UK’s best historical landmarks. Shame the cafe was closed, although I couldn’t actually find it due to the crowds. The dog facilities were excellent, many places for him to pee.

The stone hasnt been removed. It was still there the other day. You were looking in the wrong place. The google marker point is inacurate to about 50 yards

It was removed so no longer exists

Didn't find it.
