What is recorded here

Barleymount East holds a green sandstone pillar, one metre tall and cut slightly into the hillslope. It stands at the base of a south-facing pasture, its flat faces whitened by lichen and moss. The stone points east-northeast, marking a field boundary near a roadside gate. People may have set it there to judge distance, claim land, or remember a loss now forgotten.
