This stone is now preerved on Northfield Lane off High Street in South Milford. It was found lying in the soil at the southern end of South Milford when the South Milford and Sherburn by-pass was built. It was rescued and set up at the entrance to a farmhouse. The left face has the legend LON/181/FER/4 and on the adjacent side facing the lane YORK/17/TAD/8. It is marked on Jeffrey's 1771 map.
