This unnamed set of stones represents the Dingy Skipper Butterfly. The bronze plaque at the entrance has a verse in the form of a Haiku referring to the butterfly. It has a pattern round the edge is based on the conservatory floor of Pierremont Hall, former home of Edward Pease. There are three sets of Trinity Stones, each weighing 10 tonnes. The stones come from a local quarry. The outer stone has a door like opening, not unlike a letter 'n', the middle stone has a similar sized opening, but in the form of a 'u' with a hemispherical bowl standing on the ledge created by the bottom of the 'u'. The back stone is solid with an engraved square plaque fixed on it. Each of the set of Trinity stones represents one of the species found on the site before it was developed.
