    Rather unusually, there is a standing stone here, just a few steps from the Louven Howe trig point. Excellent, far-reaching views from here in every direction, and the Fylingdales MOD (Ministry of Defence) complex is visible in the distance.

      Stony Leas is a boundary stone on top of a barrow known as Louven Howe. The barrow itself being about 1.5m high stands out clearly in the landscape, it is about 20m in diameter and there is a trig point just to the north of it.

      The boundary stone has engraved on its southeast face the letter C, which stands for Cholmley, and the stone marked the boundary of the Whitby Abbey Estate. Sir Richard Cholmley purchased the Abbey Lands from Edward Wright in 1546 after the dissolution of the monasteries. Today it marks the boundaries of the civil parishes of Goathland, Sneaton, and Fylingdales and Hawsker - cum - Stainsacre.
