An old boundary stone located on the south west part of Waupley Moor about midway between the named boundary stones WATER DITTINS and the BECKWITH STONE. The 1853 OS map, see HERE shows the stone marked as a boundary stone (BS) with the parish boundary (marked as undefined) running through it. To locate this, when the map opens zoom in to the top right. However later OS maps such as this 1911 one HERE show it simply marked as stone and no longer on the boundary line, which now dog legs between the Water Dittins boundary stone and the Beckwith stone bypassing this stone and following what would have been a very short section on the route of Paddy Waddell’s Railway*
Whilst no longer on the parish boundary, the stone was / is probably an Estate boundary stone, It is a dressed stone which stands out clearly in the landscape about 5ft high and about 10 inches square, though this tapers slightly at the top. About midway on its south westerly face it has the letter D (Danby) engraved and the date which I suspect once said 1884, the same as other stones in this area, though this is not fully legible any more.
* Paddy Waddell’s Railway - A failed attempt, mainly financial, to link the ironstone mines at Glaisdale, across the moors with what was the North Eastern Railway line at Lingdale junction (NZ 69110 17317) (next to Kilton Thorpe on the modern OS map). It would have joined up with what is now the Esk Valley line just to the north of Glaisdale in the Rake Farm area at about NZ 77740 06551. The distance would have been about 10½ miles.
