Llanbadarn, Milestone - Aberystwyth 1
One of three gazetteer-type milestones erected 1 mile from Aberystwyth circa 1900.

The milestone bore an Ordnance Survey benchmark on its North (right) face, which has been obscured by the re-surfacing and re-lettering of the stone, which is apparent when compared to its counterpart in nearby Penparcau: SN5880 : Penparcau, Milestone - Aberystwyth 1

Height: 4.6147m OD (Newlyn). Mark verified by the Ordnance Survey in 1955. Description: MS SW SIDE LLANBADARN RD. 0.2m above ground. 3rd Order BM.

The previous milestone, that this one replaced, bore an earlier benchmark:

The mark was included as a branch level from mark 601 on the Warrington to Pembroke Docks line of the First Primary Levelling of England & Wales in 1851-1852. It was levelled with a height of 15.493' above OD (Liverpool). Description: Mark on the 1st milestone from Aberystwyth ; 1.79 ft. above surface. Page 533 of the abstract: LinkExternal link
