This stone was rescued during roadworks in the 1980s from its site about ½ mile to the south. It is facing onto the A7 in the garden of 3 Bow Farm Cottages. Two holes signify that it once had an oval plate with the legend now painted in the style of the plate. There is a bench mark at the top front and all the faces except the back have horizontal broaching. It would have been set up by the Lasswade District Turnpike Trust.
