Early C19 milestone on old turnpike road from Neath to Pontneddfechan. 2 Ordnance Survey bench-marks added during the OS primary levelling exercise (1840-60) and / or secondary levelling (1912-21), giving height above sea-level.
Milestone, stone, triangular section with rectangular base and curved top. Incised painted lettering, on the right side reading ‘IIII Miles to Neath' and on the left side 'VIII Miles to Pont vn.' for Pontneddfechan. Struck-through bench-mark on base and further, damaged, inscription reading ‘Neath [-]ower’. Bench-mark on apex indicates flattened incised square, presumably the correct height above sea level.
Included as a well-preserved example of a milestone with special historic transport interest on old turnpike road.
