Description
This is a road cutting revetment with a commemorative tablet, built in 1861. It features a coursed limestone rubble wall and a dressed stone tablet that reads: "This Hill was lowered 7 October 1861" in upper case sans-serif lettering. The tablet is set in a chamfered stone surround, which includes a benchmark in the bottom right-hand corner. Styles Hill became a turnpike around 1830, but due to its steepness, a deeper cutting was made in 1861, leading to the construction of this revetment and its commemorative tablet.
