The huge Ship Stone near the head of Tripsdale, from certain angles looks like the prow of a ship emerging from the ground.

There is a Latin inscription on the side

DEI PLENA SUNT OMNIA.
JOANNES CERVUS, BILVALLENSIS
ANNO MDCCCXLIX.

written by John Hart of Oak House, Bilsdale.

All things are full of God.
John Hart, a man of Bilsdale.
1849
