This milestone is not shown on modern Ordnance Survey maps. It was on maps up until at least the 1970s, but for some reason it, and its companion down the road have fallen out of favour.

It is on the grass verge on the N side of Market Weighton Rd opposite Mile House.

See:
'England - Yorkshire: 209', Ordnance Survey 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 (1855) on British-History.ac.uk (Note that Mile House is marked as "The Gate" on this map.
