Description

This is an obelisk located 800 meters northwest of the parish church in Bradstone, possibly dating from the 18th century. It is made of coursed slatestone and features two sides of the original four-sided squat obelisk that remain intact. The structure was likely intended as an eye-catcher, making it visible from a distance to the north, south, and west.
