To the left of the stone it is Thackley Old Road, Windhill. The inscription is difficult to understand. W. a. a. / D. K. / 1870 / No. 3 (?). Both Thackley and Windhill were in the township and ecclesiastical parish of Idle, but in 1870 Windhill became a separate parish, and also an Urban Sanitary District in 1875. It became part of Shipley Urban District, so that the stone was on a local government boundary until 1974. The date 1870 and the number make it very likely that this was one of a series of stones marking the boundary of the newly created parish.
