Uploader's Comments

Located on Rudland Rigg just south of the Cammon Stone and some 50 yards west of the old Drovers Road. It was a wayside cross who's broken shaft has been utilised as a guide stone.
It is inscribed with the following on each of its faces: Stoxla Rode, Farndale, Bransdale & Kirby Rode. Stoxla stands for Stokesley and Kirby for Kirbymoorside. This photo was taken in January 2012
