The Margery Bradley stone marks the meeting point of three parishes. Farndale East, Rosedale West Side and Westerdale.
An ordnance survey mark has been cut into the road side.
The other face was inscribed “TD” for Thomas Duncombe in the 18th century.
The stone has existed as a waymarker since medieval times, but it could have originally have been from the bronze age and be associated with the nearby Flat Howe burial mound.
