HURLSTONE, a curious old pillar between Lilburne and Chillingham, in Northumberland; in a high field, 4 miles SE of Wooler. Tradition says that a subterranean passage of great length goes under it; and superstition says that the fairies have been heard singing, "Wind about, and turn again, And thrice round the Hurl Stane"
(John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-72))
