It is not clear what the purpose of this stone is (or was), situated at the junction of Three Arch Road with Horley Road (see Image - it is at the foot of the tree on the left of the photo). Whilst first impressions might be a milestone, it is not of the correct style (nor the correct position) for this road (see Image for one much less than a mile to the south). The large scale OS map simply marks it as "Stone".
