In 1805 Viscount Thomas James Warren Bulkeley (7th Viscount) made a new road through his land to run along the straits and built a sea-wall 5ft(1.5m) high to protect it. It was opened to the public in 1806. In 1828 it became a turnpike road and the approaches to both Menai Bridge and Beaumaris were improved. The milestone dates from the establishment of the turnpike in 1828, and is one of four originally placed along its route, all of which survive.
Dressed granite slab, with shaped (pointed) top, cut with lettering reading: BEAUMARIS / 3 MILES / MENAI BRIDGE / 1 MILE 3 FURLS.
Listed as a fine example of a milestone with considerable local historical significance.
