Description
Freestanding cut-granite milestone, erected c.1780, on roadside. Inscribed (north): "L:KENNY/14/DUNFANAGHY/4½"; (east): "CREESH/LAGH/1 ½"; (west): "ARDS/1½".
Appraisal
This milestone is a fine example of an early signpost associated with the development of the road transport network in Ireland in the late eighteenth century. It is in good condition and gives distances to Letterkenny, Dunfanaghy, Creeslough and Ards.
