Signpost on the old Thurkilsti drove road
The stone probably dates from 1711 when the Justices sitting at Northallerton ordered that guide posts should be erected throughout the North Riding at all moorland crossroads.
The track along Rudland Rigg follows the route of the ancient drovers’ track known as Thurkilsti or Thurkill’s road, from Kildale to Kirkbymoorside.
