About ½ mile from the centre of Chapeltown on Burncross Road at Burncross Drive. This West Riding CC stone from 1893/94 is shown to the full height of the attachment. There will be another 20cm of stone under pavement level. All 4 fixing points can be seen. There is a hole in the top for previous use by Ordnance Survey. It was in front of a school building which was demolished, houses were built and the stone slightly repositioned. It is grade II listed 335445.
