Description

Square-profile granite milestone, c.1780, inscribed on two sides.

Appraisal

This milestone is a reminder of the great coaching era in Ireland when the post office operated a coach based system of postal distribution. The simple form and carving of the structure is similar to other such milestones which are found in Meath, dating to the same period. Inscribed: '2'.
