In 2006 some local people from Arthington were litter picking and found the milestone at the east end of the village in this state. The backing stone was broken and only the top metal section was found. In 2010 the Parish Cuncil sourced enough funds to have a replacement casting made. The remaining piece of stone was fastened to a new stone base with the, now complete, milestone set a little further back from the road edge.
