What is recorded here

Milestone, Swansea Castle 5 Miles, Mumbles Road marks five miles from Swansea Castle during the Post Medieval period. It is a small stone witness to distance, perhaps chipped by cart wheels or softened by rain, standing on Mumbles Road where travellers once measured the journey home. The number five was not decoration; it was direction. A person walking that road could read the castle’s reach in the stone itself, and the stone could be read without knowing the person at all.
