This milestone is a Listed Building protected by law. These were commonly erected, sometimes specifically stated to be erected by law, as part of the road systems such as turnpikes. The turnpike here ran across the Stainmore Pass from Bowes (then in the North Riding of Yorkshire, now County Durham) to Brough (then in Westmorland, now Cumbria) - the stone gives the distance for both as there are no other major centres or junctions along the exposed route.
