SN7299 : Old milestone by Hen Gapel, Derwenlas
taken 6 years ago, near to Derwenlas, Powys, Wales
Old milestone by Hen Gapel, Derwenlas
This classic old Welsh slate milestone stands in front of Hen Gapel, Derwenlas alongside the A487. The top is damaged and it appears to have two lots of inscriptions both apparently indicating 2 miles to Machynlleth. The milestone isn't marked on any maps I've seen, but does appear to be equidistant between milestones 'Mach 1', which is now in a cut off section of the A487 (if the MS exists), and 'Mach 3' further west, which may have been lost to an RTC, where there is a hole in the hedge.
