'Stocks' marked on 6 inch Ordnance Survey map but not as antiquity.
However these are indeed a set of stocks (ie a pillory) and appear to be ancient. Despite misleading Ordnance Survey marking they are just on Haveringland side of boundary.
Information from B.S. Ayers (NAU), March 1991.

20 May 1992. Seen only in passing by E. Rose (NLA). A very large and elaborate set, with finials on the posts.
