Overview
milestone/milepost is recorded as milestone/milepost in Tipperary. The saved date range is 1760 to 1800. Its recorded grade or rating is Regional. The saved evidence fixes the building and its protected record while keeping unknown builders, people and changes open.
Why it was built
The record classifies milestone/milepost as milestone/milepost. It does not safely state the first owner's purpose beyond that use, so this first account does not borrow a story from a namesake.
People and work
No architect, builder, owner, worker or resident is named in the saved wording. Those people remain unknown until the linked official record or another source identifies them.
How it changed
The saved wording does not establish particular rebuilding, extensions, damage or changes of use. No visible feature is assigned a date without supporting evidence.
What survives
The public record still identifies the place as milestone/milepost. Its saved point marks the building or centre of its recorded area, but the stock wording does not provide a room-by-room condition report.
Why it mattered
milestone/milepost matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This milestone is a physical reminder of the era when the post office operated a coach-based system of postal distribution. The naming of the village after the milestone is evidence of the historical significance of the feature. The simple form and well-executed Roman letting of the carving exhibit fine craftsmanship. It is attractively set with a rubble stone wall constructed to protect it from damage. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
