Description
A late-C18 milestone and an early/mid-C19 milepost standing on the south side of Rowley Hill (A1017), around 60m south-east of its junction with Church Walk.
The gravelled area in which the milestone and milepost stand, along with the concrete edging stones, are not of special interest.
MATERIALS: the milestone is constructed from limestone while the milepost is of cast iron.
DESCRIPTION: the two waymarkers stand side by side on the south side of Rowley Hill (A1017), within a small gravelled enclosure bounded by concrete edging stones.
The milestone is rectangular-on-plan with a flat top and a worn inscription on its north face reading HALSTEAD / 14.
The milepost is triangular-on-plan with a pointed and broached central panel reading COLCHESTER / 27 / Strurmere. Its east face bears the number 1 (the accompanying lettering for Haverhill now missing) while the west face reads HALSTED / 14.
