Details
ST COLUMB MAJOR
1555/0/10033 (Southeast side) 03-AUG-10 Milestone 65m east of Sunny Corner
GV II A milestone, erected circa 1852. The granite stone is triangular on plan; it is approximately 0.74m high, has a pyramidal top and is inscribed on its front faces COLAN / CHURCH / 3 and ST / COLUMB / 1 in sans serif capitals. The milestone is set on a rectangular stone base. The whole milestone is painted white, with the lettering picked out in black.
HISTORY: The milestone is one of a small group erected on one of two parish roads between St Columb Major and Colan, circa 1852, by the St Columb Highway Board, which was responsible for roads in the parishes from 1835. The stone is closely dateable to circa 1852, as one of the group is clearly inscribed with this date. The roads were never adopted as main roads or turnpike roads, and as such are unusual in having milestones.
