Perhaps erected by a Turnpike Trust; dated 1780.
A guidestone for travellers, dated 1780. Set in an upstand of a low rubble boundary wall at the roadside, it is a flat-faced slab approximately 1m high and 1¼m wide, with inscriptions which are now only partly legible. The second line reads "ERECTED 1780", and the following lines refer to Crickhowell, Brecon, Ross, Gloucester and Brecknock, with their distance in "Miles from hence".
A historically interesting form of milestone.
