a second ghost multipoint marker just discovered
hiding in plain sight within yesterdays moorland
crosses offering

is lilla cross

identifies this purported 7th century gravestone as a
medieval quadriparish point marker

shows it still marks a district boundary today
namely scarborough & ryedale districts of north
yorkshire county
within the region of yorkshire & the humber
but it is hard to be absolutely sure which 4 parishes
they were
http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/Misc/Maps/NRYparishes.gif
suggests perhaps allerston fylingdales lockton &
pickering
so maybe this point is or rather was
gb2en3ny4scry5alfylopi
or something like that
with dates unknown
but probably spanning most of the 10th thru 20th
centuries
