One mile north of Royston near the Tesco superstore, the indentation on the top of this milestone shows where a rivet benchmark once was. The inscription B&K on the milestone signifies Bassingbourn and Kneesworth in Cambridgeshire but county boundary changes now place the milestone in Hertfordshire.
