Boundary Stone, Yorkley
Image: © Mr Red Taken: 23 Dec 2024
In Lydney Road just South of Southdene House, set back from the road. It has been labelled "BS" on many OS maps until 1958 when just "stone". It is at an inflexion of the boundary for the Royal Forest of Dean with some apparent inscription that may have been deliberately defaced during WWII as was the requirement of the Government. It differs from all other "Forest" boundary stones, eg see https://www.geograph.org.uk/article/Royal-Forest-of-Dean-Boundary-Stones Milestone Society National ID: GL_WDEAN11bm
