This milestone, located in Hopesike Woods, is likely from the early 19th century and was part of the Carlisle to Longtown Turnpike. It is made of red sandstone and features cast iron plates.

The stone is whitewashed, with the lettering highlighted in black. Additionally, there is a benchmark on the top of the stone.
