Old milestone One of the three remaining plated milestones from the 11.7 miles Red House (north of Doncaster) to Crofton (east of Wakefield) tollroad first enacted in 1741.  Although difficult to spot in summer as it is down a banking it is behind a British Telecom cover in the verge.  When first found several years  ago there was a crack in the top of the stone but it was repaired with cement and painted black.   Now the lettering needs sprucing up.  W 9 is below D 11.  The plate is held on by two rivets.
