Battered and neglected but still just about visible if on foot. It seems to be saying S (Sedbergh) 7 miles and KL (Kirkby Lonsdale) 3 miles. There is a bench mark on the top which doesn't seem to be on the OS database. Update: the figures should read 'Kirkby Lonsdale 3¾, Sedbergh 7'. Shown on 1859 Map as BM 226.7ft.(69.1m) http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm47691 (supplied by Geograph member Roger Templeman).
