milestone/milepost — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Triangular-profile granite milestone, c.1780, inscribed on two sides.

This milestone is a reminder of the great coaching era in Ireland when the post office operated a coach based system of postal distribution. The simple form and carving of the structure is similar to other such milestones which are found in Meath, dating to the same period. This milestone forms part of an interesting group of three milestones found at roughly one mile intervals on the road between Siddan and Drumcondra. The south face is inscribed: "Drumconra/2/Carrick/macross/9/Kingcourt/8" while the north face is inscribed: "Dublin/29/Slane/7/COLLON/7". The top is inscribed: "CM".
