Several bits of archaeology have been found in the area surrounding Breck Farm. Few remain - for instance there used to be a structure with at least one beehive cell in the stackyard (HY512060). In the field next to this was a clay-lined pit and an urn with a fine stone lid. 'Lesser' thick-bodied urns were found in other fields.

It may be that the row I call Beck Spine originally terminated at the standing stone, but as the latter is hidden from the former by being cut into the hill I'm unable to check for alignment.
