1623/0/10010 A388 07-JAN-09 Milestone north of Hatt (NGR SX3987662 632)

GV II Late-C18 milestone of granite; rectangular in plan with rounded top. The dressed west face has incised black painted lettering that originally gave the distances to Callington and Saltash. Unfortunately the lower portion of the milestone, marking the distance to Saltash (4 miles) has been broken off and the stone re-set. The inscription now reads: C 5½ / S.

HISTORY: It is one of a series of milestones erected by the Callington Turnpike Trust which was established by an Act of Parliament in 1764. It is the only marker that was erected on a short turnpike extension which was added by the Trust in the late C18 in order to connect their road network with a turnpike of the Saltash Trust.
