An unusual stone on the edge of the street. The front would have appeared to have a plaque missing indicating what it was for, possibly a mile stone on an old lane. The second point of interest is the Ordnance Survey cut bench mark on the side. The builders of the wall had made a wise decision not to brick it in but to construct an arch over it, so they must have identified it was a stone of some importance.
