SUMMARY OF IMPORTANCE

Milestones survive in large numbers as important indicators of road use and to merit listing they must survive in their original position and be largely intact. This is a good example of a milestone erected in the C18. It appears to be in its original position and part of its inscription is still clearly legible.
