On a hedged footpath behind a triangle of land behind the war memorial for the Great War at the entrance road to the village hall, near ‘Kirkstall’. A granite beam above granite steps. Public footpath 316/5/4 (gold) from Probus to Trelowthas. Miss Cherry Taylor, now in her 80s, says these stiles were once at every field boundary. Only the first three still remain as the footpath merges into Gwell an Nans housing estate. She recalls, as a young girl, picnic parties used to be held on these stiles going down the valley.
