A. Rock The name of this Rock is supposed to have derived its name from a Legend connected with a place called the "Foul Hole". It appears that the Foul Hole has been notorious among the ignorant and superstitious as a place much frequented by Spectres, Witches, Warlocks etc which caused passers by to shake or tremble and from the proximity of the Rock to the above place it is supposed to have derived its name.
