Rose-Troup suggests that 'the Old Way' of a Saxon charter of AD 962 refers to a stone row formerly running from Sandowl ('the sign of the Owl' on OS maps, at SX 688572), past Zeaston to Turtley Camp (SX 692 586). With this, he links the remains of the cross at Hookmoor Cross (see SX 65 NE 41) and two other stones a few yards away.
