Old land deeds in northeastern United States often refer to "Oak Staddle" or "Walnut Staddle". In Great Britain small granaries were built on mushroom-shaped stumps called staddle stones. This is rare as granaries in the area tended to be built on staddle stones. Timber-framed barns raised onto staddle stones were sometimes found in the south of England. There is also a brick-built storehouse mounted on staddle stones to prevent incursion by rats. Staddle stones are a specific type of padstones. The organic design by Mark Hoare has a rustic cruck frame on Cotswold staddle stones. Behind the house is an 18th-century timber-framed granary, on staddle stones. It is built on sixteen staddle stones as an anti-vermin measure. In this context the staddle stones are often called "mushroom stones".
