About half a mile to the north of Burton Howe just off to the east of the Cleveland Way is an old Guide Stone known as the Ingleby Moor Hand Stone. This section of what is now part of the Cleveland Way was at one time a major north / south route known as the Thurkilsti. It has the following Information carved on its East, West and South Faces. There is nothing on the North Face. Note: Because of erosion some of this lettering is now barely legible.
West Face (from top to bottom) TO INGLE BY AND STOX LEY
South Face (from top to bottom) TO KIRBY AND HEMS LEY 1757
East Face (from top to bottom) TO GIS BRO
Beneath the writing on both the west and east faces is a carved hand pointing north indicating the direction you must travel to reach the destination engraved on that face.
