This is a milepost dated 1733, located on the north side of Main Street in Hellifield. It is made of millstone grit and stands approximately 65 centimeters tall, with a triangular cross-section. The milepost is inscribed on two faces, although the inscriptions are now partly illegible.

The distances are measured in customary miles, which are approximately 1.5 statute miles.
