PLACENAME: From the Welsh word 'caled' meaning rocky stream, hard/violent, rapid. The second part of the name 'stones' originates from the stone remains of a late neolithic chambered tomb.

Calderstones late neolithic (new stone age) chambered tomb was originally located at the junction of Druids Cross Lane and Menlove Avenue, although now positioned in Harthill Greenhouses in the Calderstones Park. The carved stone markings on the stone are similar to ones found in Anglesey and Ireland. This suggests links around the Irish Sea. Image courtesy of Liverpool Record Office.
