What is recorded here

Triangular-plan painted stone milestone, c.1780, inscribed on two sides and top. Inscriptions read 'Nenagh 11/Limerick 8/Dublin 105'.
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.
