Description

The following building shall be added to the list

ST 74 NE SELWOOD STYLES HILL

7/512 Cutting revetment with stone tablet situated at NGR 788479

GV II

Road cutting revetment and commemorative tablet. 1861. Coursed limestone rubble wall and dressed stone tablet inscribed: "This Hill was lowered 7 October 1861" in upper case san-serif. The tablet is set in a chamfered stone surround on the bottom right hand corner of which is a bench mark. Apparently Styles Hill became a turnpike in about 1830 but since it was too steep a deeper cutting was made in 1861 and the revetment with its commemora- tive tablet was constructed.
