Made by Brayshaw and Booth from Liversedge, it is constructed from cast iron and fixed onto a sandstone pillar.

The left side lists distances to Doncaster (11 miles), Conisbrough (5½ miles), Mexborough (2¾ miles), and Swinton (1¼ miles). The right side provides distances to Barnsley (11¼ miles) and Wentworth (3½ miles).
