Reasons for Designation
Milestones are of special interest as one of the few physical remains of national and local historic road use. They reflect the standardisation of roads and the introduction of turnpikes. This is one of a number of late C18 and early C19 granite milestones erected by the Saltash Turnpike Trust. The stone remains intact and in its original location. It also has group value with other listed mileposts on this route, and has therefore been included on the list.
