This old stone gatepost stands close to the public footpath sign shown at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6451178 and at the junction of two public footpaths. When the first Ordnance Survey Six-Inch map of the area was published in 1865 this area formed part of Earsdon Grange Farm, with the footpath, indicated by the sign at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6451178, then linking the farm with Earsdon village where there were two inns, the Red Lion and the Cannon, St. Alban's Church, a Methodist Chapel and a Smithy.
