Boundary stone by the Belah (1) There are several (possibly three) stones on the north bank of the river. A second one can be seen beyond. They sit on the parish boundary of Brough Sowerby and Kaber. The boundary in this vicinity sometimes follows the centre of the river but in several places deviates from it to the north into what would 'naturally' be Brough Sowerby territory.
