Langsett to Derwent and Ashop Valleys - footpath over 'Cut Gate', and by Marjorie Hill.

The above mentioned footpath has been in use for longer than human memory can say.

At one time it was used by 'drovers' who took sheep that way, over the 'Cut Gate' pass from the valley that holds the Lady Bower Reservoir, Howden Reservoir and Derwent Reservoir - to the market in Penistone. That was long before the reservoirs were built.

Marjorie Hill is the highest point of 'the moors' visible from around these parts.

Towards the top of Cut Gate is a shaped stone with a deep cross cut into it. Do you have any idea what that stone is and why it is there?
