This milestone is on the north-east side of Rawdon Road (the A65), opposite the grounds of Rawdon Crematorium, about 200 metres from the Crematorium entrance. The milestone was probably erected when the Leeds to Guiseley Turnpike was developed in the 1830's. It marks a point 6 miles from City Square in Leeds City Centre, and is one of 5 similar milestones along the road.
