Description
This milestone, likely dating from 1758, was erected for the Carlisle-Newcastle Military Road. It is made of sandstone and features cast-iron plates. The stone is chamfered to present two faces in the direction of traffic. One face displays a cast plate indicating "TO CARLISLE 8 MILES," while the other reads "TO NEWCASTLE 48 MILES," both in four lines. The milestone has been whitewashed, with the lettering highlighted in black. In 1811, this road became the Carlisle-Temon Turnpike. Each milestone is clearly marked on Hodgskinson & Donald's map of Cumberland Westmorland, which was surveyed in 1770.
