Staddle Stones were originally used to raise tithe barns and granaries off the
ground.
This kept the produce from spoilage by damp, and also prevented mice and other
vermin from interfering with it, as they couldn't climb past the staddle stone caps.

This granary can be seen in the Weald and Downland Museum in West Sussex, UK. Such structures were common in Southern England in the 18th century. photograph courtesy of Shire Album 10 'Old Farm Buildings' by Nigel Harvey
