Large Stone House
This must be one of the largest Victorian stone built houses in the vicinity, and I am reliably informed that at one time it was the manse.

Old milepost
This milepost from the Barnsley to Pontefract tollroad is near the bus stop on the A628 in Ackworth just north of the roundabout with the A638. It is known that it was painted in 2005. Most of the mileposts on this route do not have a backing stone so this one, larger than the casting, is probably a 20C addition. This post is the only one of those remaining that is not 'Listed'.

Turnpike milepost
Erected for the Barnsley and Pontefract Turnpike trust. This turnpike was created under two Acts of Parliament. The first in 1825 created a new road from Barnsley to Cundy Cross and then created the new road through what became Lundwood to arrive at Cudworth Dike bridge. The Second Act in 1833 continued the road through Cudworth, Shafton Two Gates, Brierley, to Hemsworth. At Ackworth Moor Top (a new settlement) it crossed the Red House to Wakefield Turnpike, proceeding to High Ackworth and then on through to join an older turnpike from Doncaster to Pontefract, just a little south of the town.
