This is a recently raised stone about 60 cm high. There are several of these 'ES' stones, usually differentiated by a number. They are associated with Elizabeth Shackleton of York. Elizabeth was the widow of John Shackleton who invested in the mines before his death in 1771. She inherited his interests, and continued to invest on her own account. See also Meer Stone 2, Meer Stone 38, Meer Stone 49 and Meer Stone 50. This stone, without a number, is probably associated with the Three Meers vein on which a lease was granted to Elizabeth Shackleton in 1776.
