Description
This is a milestone from the 18th century located at SW 786492 NE. It is a tall, slender monolith made of dressed granite, square in shape with a pyramidal top. The milestone features shallow recessed panels on three sides, with the inscription on the south side facing the road remaining intact. This inscription includes the Arabic numerals 35 above the letter L, both in relief. The panels on the west and east sides have been defaced and feature recut inscriptions. The west face displays "Bodmin" over "22M" in simple incised lettering, with a remnant of the letter R for Redruth below it. The east side has a diagonal inscription reading "PENZANCE 25M" in simple incised lettering. This milestone is one of the original 18th century Turnpike Road milestones but has likely been moved, as the mileage indicated does not align correctly with the stone to the west.
