Milestone near Clough
Old milepost on the road between Clough and Castlewellan. Very worn so I couldn't make much out other than the words 'Castlewellan' and 'Downpatrick'. The milestone only appears on maps from around 1900. There is also a rivet benchmark on the top (probably from c1950) - see J3838 : Bench Mark near Clough.
