This stone seems to be a gravestone at first glance, but it is not. It is at the entrance to Rhinefield Sandy's Inclosure and reads, as far as I can make out, as follows: Rhinefield Sandys 284A 1R 29P Enclosed 1775 & 1809 Thrown out 1846 Re-enclosed 1905 E Stafford Howard Esq. Commissioner [?] Gerald Lascelles [?] The 284A 1R 29P refers to the area - 284 acres, 1 rood and 29 perches; a rood being ¼ acre and a perch being a fortieth of a rood or 5½ yards square.
