The stone in the pics is in the field beside the Milestone house & stone, on the same side of the road (the gate just before the one for the B&B). The map has a rock art marked on the other side and down the road a bit. I had a look here but found nothing. From what I could see, there are three large stones in the field with the rock art that are ex-standing stone candidates, then there's the milestone on the same side of the road. Across the road, at the far end of a long field is a large conspicuous stone. I couldn't see any other monuments in the area after a good look around.

Don't know about the 'Gates of Glory' but the field where the RA is marked on the map has a gate which I have dubbed 'The Gates of Pain' due to every inch of it being wound with barbed wire!

I have some photos of the RA showing the milestone as well as the house which I will be putting up soon. The carvings are very badly weathered apart from one or two very deep C&R's, the old water trick was of no use at all!

Ooh. I'm not sure about RA on the same side as the Milestone. I'll look in the inventory. There should be a panel over the road near the standing stone.

The Gates of Glory have actually both falllen, and are close to the Milestone.

I was down there not too long ago and parked by the Milestone. I'm a bit miffed I missed RA near to it ... I shall have to go back :-)
