Full Description
A post-medieval milestone recorded by the Milestone Society and positioned along the King's Lynn to Gayton road. This is a small, gravestone-shaped milestone, end on to the road, with a number "2" inscribed on the two side faces. It is likely that one of the numbers is the distance to King's Lynn, but it is unknown what the other distance is to.
