What is recorded here

Freestanding cut-limestone milestone, dated 1828, on a square plan. NOTE: Inscribed: "Ennis 7½ Sp'hill 4 Gort [blank]", "SM Bridg [destroyed] Limerick [destroyed] N Market 4", "Tulla 7 Tomgreany [blank]" and "Placd [sic] here by J.S 1828 at his own expence [sic]". The "J.S" is presumed to be John Singleton (1793-1877) of nearby Quinville Abbey and the stone, its upper margin showing foliage in low relief, may have been left over from the reconstruction of 'the handsome mansion...rebuilt [1827] in the Elizabethan style' to designs by James Pain (c.1779-1877).
