Old milestone The A635 goes down and under the M1. It then climbs from Cawthorpe Basin towards the village. The third West Riding County Council milestone from Barnsley is on the north side of the road. It was painted in 2015. At some time in its history the backing stone had been painted so it was given a new coat of white masonry paint. This milestone within Cawthorne Parish is Grade II listed 1151794.

Old milestone This stone set up on the green in Cawthorne had the mileages to Huddersfield and Barnsley defaced, possibly because of the 1940 wartime Government instructions. It was also buried but found during pipe laying works. It was painted in 2015 by a professional painter and decorator who said how difficult it was to paint the legends and hands. It makes a fine feature on the green. It may date from the 19C and is Grade II listed 1151777.
