With S for Sirhowy and the date 1818, this stone was one of a number that were erected to mark the boundary of The Sirhowy Ironworks. This followed a dispute between local ironmasters over a lease and instead of being associated with the Tredegar Ironworks, the Sirhowy Ironworks became linked with the Ebbw Vale ironworks in the next valley. The new Sirhowy owners placed these marker stones to show the boundaries of their property.
