Summary

Boundary stone marked in this location on Ordnance Survey maps on 19th and 20th century maps. It was not located during a site visit in 1997 and it was suggested it may have been moved to the gateway onto Burley Down. However, a stone has been recently located circa 100 metres to the south-west of its original position. The initials suggest that the stone marks a land holding boundary rather than the parish boundary although the two coincide where the stone was originally located.
