On the east side of the A6033 opposite Crimsworth Lane. One of the 615 milestones erected for the West Riding CC in 1893/94 all over the old West Riding. This post is quite sunken in the verge. When first set up the metal attachment would have been 100cm (over 3 feet) above ground level. All the inscription can still be read. This stone was painted in 2012 by Wadsworth Parish Council. It is Grade II listed 424782.
