This is an inscribed granite pillar at the roadside, being used as a gatepost. It has been recorded by Tom Greeves (1997) and Elisabeth Okasha (2002). Steve adds: “The Inscribed Pillar has been recorded (Greeves) as 1.6 metres high by 0.36 metres wide by 0.39 metres deep. It is located on the west side of the lane and now forms a gatepost on the north side of a gateway. The 4 character inscription when first viewed is difficult to discern, so some mud painting is required to enhance it.”
