The second of the three stones on the path at the east end of Collingham Village Hall is triangular. More damaged and eroded than the stone nearest the A58 road, most of the legend on this face, LEEDS/8/MILES, can be discerned. This stone also shows some of the rough base which would have been under soil level. It was probably sited near SE 369 430 where a WRCC post was erected in 1893/94 but which is now missing.
