Description

This is a parish boundary stone, likely from the mid-19th century. It is a tall, narrow block made of sandstone, featuring a segmental head and chamfers along the edges. The names of the parishes are carved in Roman lettering: "KINGS MEABURN" along with a bench mark on one side, and "MAULDS MEABURN" on the opposite side.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 36 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.
