On the south side of the A1041 opposite East Cowick Primary School. Since this milepost was last painted in 2016 by a Milestone Society member, a hedgerow has grown round it so it is not so obvious. This one and the milepost at the west end of Snaith (SE 6467 2197) are the only ones of this design with a pointed top, that remain on the Bawtry, Thorne, Selby turnpike route. This may suggest that they were set up by the newly formed East Riding CC in the late 19C. Grade II listed 1083326.
