It is made of stone and has a roughly semi-circular shape with a slight arris on the front and a square base. The milestone stands about one metre high and features inscriptions indicating distances to Liverpool Exchange on the left side, and to Prescot and Warrington on the right side, with all three distances also marked on the rear.
