Obelisk
I notice that this is marked on the main road in the OS map but is definitely to the left on The Walk, just past its junction with the A61.

Old milestone plaque
On the Obelisk at Birdwell is this plaque directing the way to the 2nd Earl Of Strafford's country seat. It is a replica plaque put in place in the late 1960s. The original one was very eroded and the local journalist for the Barnsley Chronicle had the new one made and reset. In 2008 the 60 foot Obelisk was put up for sale. Price and new owners unknown. The Obelisk stands at the boundary of 2 great estates, Wentworth Woodhouse (Earls Fitzwilliam) and Wentworth Castle (Earls of Strafford)

The Obelisk, off The Walk, Birdwell, from the south-east
It is difficult to get a clear view as the obelisk is surrounded by buildings. Built in 1775, for the second Earl of Strafford, to mark the distance of exactly 3 Miles to Wentworth Castle, Stainborough. Made of sandstone and Grade 2 listed. The obelisk was struck by lightning on 6 June 1906. The poster advertises the programme at the Academy Theatre.
