Descriptive gazetteer entries

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Hurlstone like this:

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"
