What is recorded here
Freestanding triangular-profile milestone, erected c. 1780, with incised lettering. Bears inscription: 'Rathkeale 7 Miles / Limerick 8 Miles'.
This milestone is a historical reminder of the coaching era in Ireland, when the post office operated a coach based system of postal distribution. The simple form and carving of the stone is similar to other such milestones which are found throughout Ireland.
