Old milestone This stone east of Hellifield at the junction of the lane to Otterburn was knocked over in 2008 but reset the wrong way round.   In October 2011 it was knocked over again but by January 2012 had been reset about 1 metre from its original position.   The left face reads TO/GRISTO(N)/7M.  On the front is TO/S ( )/( )/1753/H( ).
Griston is for Grassington with S for Skipton which is 8 or 9 miles away.  The distances would be in  'customary' miles which are longer than 'standard' miles.   There is a pin and cut benchmark on the top.
