What is recorded here

Triangular granite milestone of c.1760 inscribed "Dublin 23" to one face and "Bglass [Baltinglass] 12" on the other, both in informal lowercase lettering. Under both of these inscriptions are the more formally inscribed uppercase letters "CW", the latter possibly added at a later date. The milestone is one of at least four which still survive on the stretch of the N81 road between Hollywood Cross Roads and Baltinglass.
Milestones of this type are becoming increasing rare, most having been swept away by road widening schemes. This particular example is in relatively good condition.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
