The Grey Panthers

High up on Pockley Moor is this ancient stone pillar (marked on the OS Map as "Locking Stone"). Carved into its sides are what appear to be place names (e.g. "Helmsley"?). Presumably this standing stone was some sort of route marker. The square cap in the photo was a piece of turf (placed there by a game keeper?).
Answers on a postcard, please, as to just what the Locking STone happens to be.
