Description
Limestone wheel guard, c.1820, with D-plan, later adapted for use as milestone and inscribed 'To Templemore 5 m 3 fr [furlongs] on front face'. Set in footpath at corner of house in square in centre of Borrisoleigh.
Appraisal
This milestone appears to be an adapted wheel guard and is an interesting part of the heritage of Borrisoleigh. The unusual form of this milestone contrasts with the more readily identifiable types found throughout the county.
