Introduction
These are four miniature staddle stones, traditionally used to lift granaries and hayricks off the ground, protecting them from damp and rodents. Crafted from stone, these examples are scaled-down representations, likely created as decorative garden ornaments or collectible folk art pieces. Their weathered appearance suggests age and authenticity, though they are clearly not full-sized functional supports.
Condition
The staddle stones exhibit signs of weathering and age, with some surface wear and discoloration. This adds to their rustic charm and character, suggesting they have been exposed to the elements. These miniature versions would appeal to collectors of folk art, garden ornaments, or those interested in traditional rural architecture.
