Cadw's description
Location
Located on the verge of the road from Pentir to Caernarfon.
History
Milestones were erected in the early C19 along the turnpiked road leading to Caernarfon. This milestone however was omitted from the 1st edition OS map Caernarvon XI.8 of 1889, and has been relocated here some metres from its original site c1914 when the road was straightened.
Exterior
A monolithic slate slab with chamfered top corners, deeply incised with the inscription CARNARVON 7 MILES / LLANDDEINIOLEN 2 1/4 / FELINHEN 1 1/4 / BETHESDA 4.
Reason for designation
Included as one of the few well preserved and legible milestones along this road.
