What is recorded here

The Milestone or milepost in Ballyanrahan East has been giving directions since about 1780, but every word has worn away. It’s reached the age where you ask how far to Patrickswell and it just looks at you until you remember yourself.
Freestanding limestone mile marker, c. 1780, having lettering and numbering which is now illegible.
This milestone is a notable addition to the streetscape of Patrickswell. Despite the illegibility of the writing, it is well maintained and is a significant survival of street furniture in the area.
