Old milestone This weathered stone is on an old route from Howden towards Beverley and may predate the mounting-block type milestones set up later in this area of the East Riding.  There are remnants of an inscription. Bev and Miles can just be made out.   It is on a wide verge on High Road leading westwards into Everthorpe from the A1034.  A bench mark is incised at the top of the front face.
