"Milestone. Probably early C18. Sandstone. Square shaft approx. one metre high, with inscriptions on the face and on each side (now illegible, but may be deduced - by comparison with milestone approx. 30 south of Fairmile Beck - as including "Sedbergh / 1 Mile" and probably "Kendal / 8 Miles"). Similar in style to milestone approx. 30m south of Fairmile Beck (qv) and milestone on Hawes Road at junction with Frostrow Lane Frostrow (qv)."
