This is an ancient boundry marker stone, also known as Long Stoop. The base of this monument is original, the shaft is a replacement dating from 1836.

The local Civic Society records, The 'new' Long Stoop was put in place in 1836. The previous one had been damaged. There was a ceremony on the 8th August 1836 which John Yeadon (1764- 1843) attended. He kept a diary. This is part of the entry for that day. "The old Conelodge stone Stoop being destroyed sometime back by deprecators, which has stood hundreds of years. A new one was set up this day with music and rejoicing". 

The Stoop was moved because of an extension to Leeds Bradford Airport Aireborough Civic Society provided an information plaque for the base of the Stoop.

There was also some friendly animals when we set the cache. Parking to approach the final from this direction is available very close to GC24XKZ
