What is recorded here

The Milestone or milepost in Caheragh puts Loughill and Tarbert four miles away apiece. A lovely spot for a couple who can’t agree where to go: they can storm off in opposite directions and both be right about the walk.

0 / 600

Freestanding triangular-plan cut limestone milestone, erected c. 1870, having chamfered top and inscribed lettering which read: 'Loughill 4 / Tarbert 4 / Limerick 31'.
This simple piece of masonry served an important practical function in past navigation. Its rough hewn nature adds to its appeal, as does the inscribed lettering. Its survival is a testament to its significance as part of the street furniture within Limerick County.
