The top surface is chamfered to display the upper inscription, which reads "To Leicester 19 miles."

It experiences an average of 35 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 56% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
