"This obelisk is the most ambitious element in the local sculpture trail. It was constructed to mark the Millennium by the first female apprentice stonemason in the history of Hornton Quarry". The inscription around the top has on one face the letters MM, the year 2000 in Roman numerals. The other three faces bear the names of the villages in the parish: Ratley, Edgehill and Upton.
