Three adder stones
Three adder stones, also known as hag stones, witch stones, serpent's eggs and snake's eggs. They are believed by some to have been formed by the secretions of snakes or adders, and thought to have magical powers. They are probably formed when stones have their centres worn away by the natural action of flowing water
