The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this boundary stone - see their page for Greenwood Stone, Midgley Moor, West Yorkshire, which gives directions for finding the stone together with photographs and a brief archaeology & history.
TNA describe this stone as 'an old boundary stone and is not prehistoric. It stands more than four feet tall .... the tall upright is a boundary stone that was erected in 1775, as evidenced by the date carved on its southern face. I must emphasize however that this was not when the stone came to acquire its name: this was defined in 1594 as evidenced by a boundary perambulation written that year where it is described as being recumbent: 'thence to one lying stone, newly named Greenwood Stone.' About 10-15 yards away is what may have been that very 'lying stone', the original Greenwood Stone, half-buried in the heather some six or seven feet long. It is possible this may have stood upright in the distant past."
