The historic stone found in front of Sham Castle has been resurrected this week. The marker stone was uncovered after the scrub clearance lying on its side. Nicholas Coombes put the local history societies in touch with the National Trust and BathNES archeology department to decide where the stone should go. Based on maps from the early 1800s, the marker has been returned to its original position.

It was used by the Bath Corporation in the late 1700s as a marker stone for one of the many springs in the area which watered their development in Bathwick. It is thought that there are many more on Bathampton Down; the National Trust has now drawn the attention of the Bathwick History Society to another further down North Road.
