These group of boundary markers are testament to the many changes of boundaries over the years. The Turnpike movement brought new and better roads to the people, albeit at a price. The routes often encouraged the definition of various boundaries, be they simple parish or county status - which moved as governments thought appropriate. As it happens, these markers are on the route of a ditch dating back much further - the Wansdyke.
