Description

Milestone dated 1750 located on the east side of Grovely Road in Barford St Martin. This limestone pillar features an ogee curved top and has incised lettering on the front that reads "VI / Miles From / SARUM / 1750". The ox-drove from Wilton to Chicklade was turnpiked relatively early in the 18th century, and the route is now a track.

Milestone receives an average of 800 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 53% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 60% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
