Cadw's description
Location
Located outside the Coach House Gallery to the S of Warren Drive.
History
Probably C18, representing the turnpiking of an ancient route from Caerphilly to Cardiff. Now incorporated in a snecked stone wall, so probably not in its original position.
Exterior
Limestone block, tapering out towards the top and roughly rectangular in plan. An inscription on the front face reads 'From / Cardiff / VII Mile'. Now incorporated in a garden wall of snecked stone as an end pier.
Reason for designation
Listed for its historic interest as a feature of the former turnpike road.
