Possible Old Milestone by the B3139, Wells Road, Stratton on the Fosse
The stone is located by Norton Down Cottages, on the verge against the garden wall, on the south side of road. Parish of Stratton on the Fosse (Mendip District).
Initially the stone was considered to be a first generation milestone erected by the Wells turnpike trust in the 18th century. However, there is no evidence to support this. Any information about the stone would be appreciated.

A cropped field waiting for the plough. Probably a wheat field. Fields are rarely left fallow now, a crop such as oil seed rape or sometimes broad beans is sown which will improve the condition of the soil and still be productive.
