Inverted benchmark
It's not terribly common but sometimes the arrows are above the datum line. However, it may be that the mark was originally positioned elsewhere at Folly Gate and the stonework reused after rebuilding. Historic references appear to indicate the mark at this location since the late 1880s. See http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm41652 for the Benchmark Database, or
