The stoop had been used as a gatepost in another position for many years, before being made redundant and dumped in the farmyard. Its existence was drawn to the attention of Mr Len Entwistle, Holymoorside local historian, and when its significance was realised, re-erected in its present position.
It is wrongly aligned, and originally it probably stood at the T junction at 318706.
