shows it still marks a district boundary today<br/>
<br/>
namely scarborough & ryedale districts of north<br/>
yorkshire county<br/>
within the region of yorkshire & the humber<br/>
<br/>

they were<br/>

suggests perhaps allerston fylingdales lockton &<br/>
pickering<br/>
<br/>
so maybe this point is or rather was<br/>
gb2en3ny4scry5alfylopi <br/>
or something like that<br/>
with dates unknown <br/>
but probably spanning most of the 10th thru 20th<br/>
centuries<br/>
