The inscriptions seem to read 'Townend' and 'Division'. It doesn't sit on a current parish boundary. A quick search on the internet found http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a2a/records.aspx?cat=024-wpr3&cid=1-4-3#1-4-3 which is a will written in 1726 gifting '5s. p.a. to inhabitants of Town End division towards repair of highways'
