History

Mid C18 milestone, one of 7 along the road between Barmouth and Harlech and probably contemporary with a similar stone to the N of Dyffryn Ardudwy which bears the date 1765. This series of stones predate the resolution to convert the principal tracks of the county into turnpikes at a county meeting in Dolgellau in 1775, and it is thought that this stretch of road was constructed and maintained by the landlords of the estates through which it passed.

Exterior

Broad, irregularly shaped milestone, shaped as if a pair of conjoined milestone with rounded heads to each 'stone'. Bears the inscription: HARLECH / VI / M at the top of the left hand side, BERMO / IV / M at the right hand side and DOLGELLEY / XIII / M across the base.
