Description

The boundary stone, likely dating from around 1850, is made of sandstone ashlar and stands approximately 0.4 metres high with a rounded top. Its surfaces are pecked, except for the square panels that feature large Roman capitals. The west side displays a "W," while the east side has "L" and "S," which probably represent the civil parishes of Woodland and Lynesack and Softley.
