This mark is larger than the typical mark, which identifies it as an early mark. On investigation, it turns out to be mark no.98 of the First primary levelling, England & Wales (1GL) line from Thorne to Stalybridge surveyed in 1845. http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/ew1gl/1GLA_348.png The original survey names the watercourse as the River Ryton, although in practice it is only a tributary stream.
