A Scheduled Monument, although not in its original location. It was moved from the junction of Lombard Street and Carter Gate http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3118018 in 1974 to allow remodelling of the junction for modern traffic. Its origin is not known, but there is documentary evidence to suggest that it is a memorial to Viscount Beaumont who died at the battle of Towmont in 1461. It was repaired in 1778 and again in 1801. Listed Grade II.
