If the date of circa 1830 is correct then this is a replacement, as (S2) and (S3) show this as No. 5 of Lord Hastings’s milestones from Dereham to Holt. If however it is before 1797 it is interesting in that it is the only one of the group that is not a stone pillar. As the park is known to have been extended eastwards around 1830 the date is probably correct.
