Description
This is a milestone located 15 meters west of Trebudannon Lane in St Columb Major, erected around 1852. The milestone is made of granite and has a triangular shape, standing approximately 0.61 meters high with a pyramidal top. It features inscriptions on its front faces that read "COLAN / 2" and "ST / COLUMB / 2" in sans serif capitals. The entire stone is painted white, with the lettering highlighted in black.
The milestone is part of a small group that was installed on one of two parish roads connecting St Columb Major and Colan by the St Columb Highway Board, which managed local roads starting in 1835. It can be closely dated to around 1852 because one of the other milestones in the group is clearly marked with this date. These roads were never classified as main or turnpike roads, making the presence of milestones on them quite unusual.
The milestone is designated at Grade II for several reasons: it is intact and remains in its original position, it contributes to the group value of the other milestones on this road, and it holds historic interest as a remnant of the significant 18th-century road improvements, being located on a parish road rather than a turnpike road.
