For a closer look, see Image The present picture is intended only to show it in context. The stone is shown on OS maps from the second edition (surveyed c.1897) onwards. However, it is identical in appearance to others nearby that were present before 1860, when the first-edition map was surveyed, so its absence from that particular map was probably just an oversight (the nearby stones that are of the same appearance, aside from not having recently been repainted, are Image and Image).
