Old Boundary Marker on Drover Hole Hill


This old boundary stone is in a remote location on Drover Hole Hill, besides Regional Route 71, about half mile north-west of Tan Hill Inn. The estate boundary marker is a carved rough-dressed stone, about 2½ ft high, with "LO" carved on it's north face, "1912 LH" carved on it's west face. Standing on the county border and the point where 3 civil parishes meet, the marker tells the tale of changing boundaries. The 3 civil parishes bordering here are: Kaber Parish (historically in the county of Westmorland, now Cumbria), Bowes Parish (historically North Riding of Yorkshire, now County Durham), and Muker Parish (historically North Riding of Yorkshire, now North Yorkshire). The boundary marker is Grade II listed on the National Heritage List for England.
