Estate Boundary Marker on open moorland beside the remains of a boundary bank that traverses Metherin Downs 130 metres south of the lane from Moss Farm to North Kerrow. Blisland parish. One of two stones that appear to mark the boundary of the commons of Kerrow Downs to the north and Metherin Downs to the south. The letter M on its southern face indicates that Metherin Downs was owned by Sir William Molesworth. At this time the adjacent Kerrow Downs was also owned by Molesworth, so it is possible that this boundary was used to assess the common rights apportioned to the lessees of each individual area of common land.
