staddle stones
Staddle stones (variations include Steddle stones〔 - p.113.〕) were originally used as supporting bases for granaries, hayricks, game larders, etc. The staddle stones lifted the granaries above the ground thereby protecting the stored grain from vermin and water seepage. In Middle English staddle or stadle is ''stathel'', from Old English ''stathol'', a foundation, support or trunk of a tree. They can be mainly found in England, Galicia and Asturias (Northern Spain).
== Origins ==
The name itself and evidence from surviving vernacular buildings with wooden 'feet' suggest that at first the staddles or supports were made of wood, such as at Peper Harow granary in Surrey.〔Quiney, Anthony. (1995). ''The Traditional Buildings of England''. Thames & Hudson. ISBN 0-500-27661-7 p.174.〕 Stone staddles were longer lasting and a more reliable means of supporting structures which were sometimes a considerable weight.
The name has become integrated into the landscape with bridges, houses, farms and other structures incorporating the name 'staddle'.
