Assuming the block of wood is a red herring?! It is an old sand pit for the local builders (J G Green being one), probably something to do with manufacturing the concrete blocks from ww11 that are still on the beaches?
Speaking of which, the line of blocks visible now were originally the second line on top of the dunes at Warkworth which were too awkward to remove after the war unlike the first line down on the beach. Erosion has done the rest. More clues please |

more clues.
The block of wood is in fact sandstone. It has an east- west groove in the top but I'm not sure if that's intentional! There's a lot more of this stone disappearing down into the sand dune. |

I think it's the boundary stone marking the extent of Amble township. Amble to the South and Birling to the North. Could explain the East/ West groove along the stone.
It's a guess anyway! |
