A crudely-lettered rectangular stone that stands against a wall at the entrance to a farm in Gooderstone. It reads:
WATT/ON/8; SW/HA/1/1. If it is a milestone, then its distances are incorrect, with Watton being approximately 11 miles away and Swaffham 6. However, (S1) states that this mileage would fit a stone that once stood on Croxton Heath at approximately TL 868 899, and that 1906 OS maps show a series of milestones running from Thetford to Watton via Croxton.

See (S2) for further information.
