The mile markers along the road from Tywyn were probably erected by the turnpike trust c1827 after the toll booths were set up.
Cast iron mile marker consisting of a shaft of open-backed triangular section, now partly buried, bracketed at the foot, with bead edge strengthening, widening at the top, with a splayed top gusset. Each side face of the upper part has raised sans-serif lettering reading, on the right, DOLGELLEY / 16, and on the left, TOWYN / 4.
Included as one of a largely complete series of mile markers erected by the Turnpike Trust at the time of considerable improvements to rural roads in W Meirionydd in the early C19.
