Located on Lealholm Moor just east of Danby Beacon it was a waymarker cross which marked the junction of two ancient tracks. One running east/west which at this point was known as Stonegate and another running north towards Staithes known as Leavergate. The medieval base of the cross itself has been mounted on a couple of stone slabs with a short piece of what was probably part of the upper cross shaft wedged into it. There are other pieces of stone which could have been part of the shaft lying about it.
