This inscribed rock is said to give directions back to the ship that dropped off Prince Henry Sinclair and his Knights Templar in New England in 1398. They were either lost at sea or fleeing persecution from authorities. It is thought they carried the Holy Grail with them on the voyage. The stone was found in 1930 while excavating a road. The Westford Knight, a carving said to be atop the grave of one of the Templars, is within walking distance of this rock.
