Harlow Bush is a named boundary stone which today (2022) marks the boundary between the urban authorities of Redcar & Cleveland and Scarborough District as well as the civil parishes of Danby, Loftus & Lockwood.
Sited on a slight rise on the southern edge of Liverton Moor, it is a natural boulder which was known as Lardenthorn* in the 14C. It measures about 2ft in height, 2ft east to west and 3ft north to south.
Close by and directly to its south along the urban authority boundary line at NZ 71718 11817 is a masoned stone, probably 18C, which today as well as marking the UA boundary also marks the boundary between the civil parishes of Lockwood and Danby. This stone is often mistaken for Harlow Bush, probably because it is an obvious boundary stone whilst the natural boulder is not. This stone is about 3ft in height, rectangular in cross section, measuring about 8 inches (E/W) and 11 inches (N/S). Towards the top of the south face, though barely legible it is engraved Danby, there is another line of engraving beneath that but it is illegible to me. There is a bench mark about mid way.
