Cadw's description
Location
The milestone stands immediately at the W end of the N parapet of the bridge, under a road sign.
History
The milestone was erected by the Turnpike Trust on the road from Tremadoc to Pwllheli sometime after 1810, marking this important stage, the crossing of the Afon Dwyfor.
Exterior
A single slab of 7.5mm thick slate, 46cm wide and approximately 75cm above ground, with the top corners angled, inscribed with deeply cut lettering reading TO / PWLLHELI / 7 .M. / TREMADOC / 6.M. / CRICCIETH 1 1/2M.
Reason for designation
Included as one of the series of milestones on the southern road along the Lleyn peninsula. It now stands within the conservation area, of group value with Pont Llanystumdwy, and a reminder that the turnpike road originally ran through the village.
