On the north side of the unclassified road north of the River Ure at Woodall between Carperby and Askrigg. There is a 16, the mileage to Richmond, inscribed near the top covered in white lichens which are indicative of the clean air. The stone may date from the 18C on the 1751 Lancaster to Richmond turnpike. One other remaining stone on this section of road is the same shape.
