4clydesdale7 visited on 28th Aug 2011 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 5 How can Sullivan not have seen this - perhaps he never thought to check it out - it certainly is not 'old' - nice boundary stone but no more than that
It sits close to the sandpits at the point where Dursley and Cam meet at the end of a public footpath up to Stinchcombe Hill and is marked with an 'MS' on the OS Pathfinder map for Dursley - it could be described as a triangular section post - the inscription is just discernible.
The Pastscape website makes no mention of it - it only deserves a mention on this website so that its wrongly perceived ancient 'megalithic' status can be eliminated. Still it is a good example of a boundary stone and incredibly easy to get to.
