In the moorland above Bradfield you come across many of these ancient stones marking road junctions. They apparently date from the 17th Century, are Grade II listed and I can't honestly say I have noticed them anywhere else in the UK. I'm told Bradfield Council has spent a lot of money restoring them, sometimes having to retrieve them from ditches and the middle of field walls to place them back in their correct spot.
