I joined Alison for Friday night and Saturday — the last stage of her coast-to-coast.
Not sure what's known of this one. I'll see if Julian Cope has anything to say about it...
Looks like a c18th boundary stone. It's listed here, but the original poster doesn't know what to make of it: Boundary Stone?
However, this entry for another similar boundary stone nearby gives more information: Boundary stone and waymarker, Fylingdales Moor
The boundary stone marks the boundary between the civil parishes of Sneaton (to the right) and Fylingdales Moor. The latter is coterminous with the Abbey Lands and this C18 sandstone monolith is inscribed C X I; the 'C' refers to the Cholmley family who held the former Whitby Abbey lands until late C19.
