Late C18 or early C19 cast iron milepost on the Crumlin branch of the Monmouthshire Canal. Built by Thomas Dadford Junior 1792-9, the canal ran between Newport and Pontnewynydd, with this branch between Crindau and Crumlin. This milepost has been resited having probably been orginally located near Culvert Cottage to the W.
