Another good one, Atarah.......it could be several things; it's just so hard to tell because of the obvious erosion. Other than a milestone, it could possibly be a boundary marker or it could even be what is left of a larger structure such as a cattle/horse trough.
There appears to be 4 letters on the stone...? U D C (I can't make out the first letter) and a number 18?? (I can't make out the last two digits). UDC of course, suggests Urban District Council (i.e. the status that Church & Ossy used to have) but I'm not sure about Accy.
I'll say then it's a boundary marker and I bet it's up Manchester Road way!
