Memorial Stone. Erected in 1787 by James Stillwell of Cosford House and renovated
in 1889 by his descendant James John Russell. Sandstone, and shaped like a grave-
stone, approximately 3 feet high by 2 feet wide. It commemorates the murder of
an unknown sailor on September 24, 1786 by three other sailors - Edward Lonegan,
Michael Casey and James Marshall, who were apprehended the same day and hanged in
chains on the site of the murder on the 7th April, 1787. The inscription on the
back was recut in the C19. The stone has been moved a number of times but is back
on its original site, by the side of the Old Portsmouth Road which in 1786 ran over
the top of Gibbet Hill.
