Wayside cross called Job Cross at Middle Heads on Danby Low Moor

A Scheduled Monument in Lockwood, Redcar and Cleveland

Job Cross

Uploader's Comments

Located just north of Castleton near an ancient track known as the Stoxla (Stokesley)Road. It is possible that an ancient track from Guisborough Priory joined the Stoxla Road at this point. The name Job is probably a corruption of hob, the place where the hobgoblins gather. It is a medieval cross and would have been a waymarker.
