Triangular-profile sandstone milestone, c.1780, inscribed on both sides.

Although the inscription is faded on this milestone it is possible to read that it records the distance to 'Melick' or Mountmellick on one side. This milestone is a reminder of the great coaching era in Ireland when there was a coach based system of postal distribution and public transport.
