Cadw's description
Location
The milestone stands on the N side of the main road, immediately W of the junction of the B4413 Aberdaron road, at the centre of Llanbedrog.
History
The Llanbedrog to Pwllheli turnpike road was laid out in 1824, the milestones probably dating from its inauguration.
Exterior
Standard slate slab with the upper corners angled, boldly inscribed, reading PWLLHELI 4 / LLANBEDROG 1/2 / ABERSOCH 3.
Reason for designation
Included as a well preserved and legible milestone surviving from the development of the most westerly turnpike in N Wales.
