Next to the road near Barrow Hill and enveloped by hedgerow is this intriguing stone which I presume is the monument referred to on the 1:25,000 map. It appears to have a round-headed cross design but in the middle of a heavy shower and with rush hour traffic whooshing past this wasn't the time to loiter. Any further information about this artefact would be most welcome though.
