On the top of Knowle Hill at a point were six paths meet stands a memorial to Mary Baxter who died in 1988. She was a stalwart of the East Dorset Group of what was then known as the Ramblers' Association (they no longer associate, now they just ramble).
The six dressed stones making up the hexagonal base give directions along each of the paths, whilst the rough cut seventh stone perched somewhat uncomfortably on top of them carries a plaque which reads:
THESE STONES COMMEMORATE MARY BAXTER M.B.E. (1919-1988)
She helped to conserve the Dorset countryside and protect its footpaths
Donated by members of The Ramblers' Association.
