At the entrance to Lydgett Farm on Moor Lane, Netherthong is this out of place milestone. It had been used as a gatepost at SE119092 and then on the top of a stone wall. It has mileages to Penistone (penyston) 8 Miles, this face, Marsden and Huddersfield with pointing hands. It is mentioned in WB Crump, Huddersfield Highways Down The Ages P146/147 and may have been at the crossroads Bradshaw Road/Wilshaw Mill Road near where it was used as a gatepost.
