Old Boundary Marker beside the B6260 in Crosby Ravensworth Estate Boundary Marker in a pasture west of the B6260 and Maskriggs Wood. Inscribed B & R, and probably C R similar to WE_CRR03em, see <a title="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6462527" href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6462527">Link</a>.

Although both these markers are now in Crosby Ravensworth parish, they were until 1935 on the boundary of that parish and Bank Moor, which was common to both Crosby Ravensworth and Asby parishes. C R almost certainly references Crosby Ravensworth but B & R has been taken to refer to the those who held rights on the moor, of which the right of pasture is the most obvious.
