Description
The milestone located 400 meters southwest of Lower Coldrenick is an early 18th-century stone marker. It has a rectangular shape with a cambered head and stands about 1 meter tall. The milestone is painted white and features the inscription "3/B" in black paint.
Historically, this milestone marks a lane that was once the main route between Bodmin and West Cornwall. It served as a post route from 1677 to 1722. While the exact date of the milestone's erection is not confirmed, it is likely that it was installed during this period, possibly before the 1769 Act of Parliament that established the Bodmin Turnpike Trust, which mandated the placement of milestones and direction posts along the road. This route was eventually replaced by a more direct path over Tregoss Moor and was no longer a turnpike route by 1786. The milestone is also shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map from 1880.
This milestone is recognized for its intact condition and original position, as well as its group value with other listed milestones along the turnpike route.
