milestone/milepost — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Triangular-profile granite milestone, erected c.1780, inscribed on two sides. Inscriptions read ‘DUB 2’ and ‘B TON 15’.

This milestone is a historical reminder of the coaching era in Ireland, when the post office operated a coach-based system of postal distribution. The simple form and carving of the stone is similar to other such milestones which are found throughout Ireland. The north-east face reads ‘B ton 15’ and the south-east face reads 'Dub 2'. This would appear to refer to Blessington, 15 miles to the south-west and Dublin, some 3 miles to the east.
