This milestone near the crossroads of the minor road from Seaton Ross to the north and the main Selby to Market Weighton Road is in front of White House Cottage. The stone was once painted the same as the house walls. It is another milestone probably dating from the turnpike era. The Selby Ferry to Market Weighton tollroad was operative between 1793 to 1879 so this stone may date from the early to mid 19C. There is a bench mark and hole (for a metal peg) in the top edge. It is Grade II Listed 165265.
