This is a half-buried reclining stone. The stone appears to mark the north-west boundary of the John Tennant lease marked on the Brailsford 1781 survey, the south-west corner of which is marked by the John Tennant Founder stone by the Beever Dam (see Meer Stone 57).
Tennant's leased four meers at this time, and four other stones have also been recorded as MS 42, MS 54, MS 57, and MS 77.
Raistrick described Tennant as a landowner, although there was also a John Tennant who was born in Hebden in 1733, and died in 1792. When he remarried in 1781 his occupation was recorded as 'miner'.
