What is recorded here

Triangular-profile granite milestone, c.1780, inscribed on two sides.

This milestone is a reminder of the great coaching era in Ireland when the post office operated a coach based system of postal distribution. The simple form and carving of the structure is similar to other such milestones which are found in Meath, dating to the same period. The south face reads: "Drumconra [sic] 3 Carrick macross 10 Kingscourt 9" while the benchmark-inscribed north face reads: "Dublin 28 Slane 6 Collon 6". The top is inscribed: "CM".
