What is recorded here
Milestone or milepost in Drumsna stands beside a gateway offering Carrick at three miles, Dromod at six, Longford at seventeen and Manorhamilton at thirty-five. It reads like directions from a host who keeps remembering another reason you can’t stay the night.
Sandstone milestone, erected c.1850. Eroded inscription in recessed face reads 'CARRICK 3, DROMOD 6, LONGFORD 17, M.HAMILTON 35'. Set against boundary wall, adjacent to gateway.
This eroded sandstone milestone is an attractive item of street furniture and contributes to the architectural heritage of Drumsna.
