  1. Are you sure the Kirby isn’t just Kirkby, which would be in the same direction as Stokesley?

    Also, classic choad form, this stone.

    • The ‘Kirby’ direction sends you up onto Blakey Ridge, so I think its meaning Kirkbymoorside.

      ‘Stokelay’ point to the road down through Westerdale/Commondale which is right for Stokesley.
