Description
Cut granite milestone, erected c. 1890, on Malahide Road, having triangular top, recessed panel to front face with cast-iron plate having raised lettering 'GPO Dublin 5 Malahide 4'. Set in overgrown road margin at side of Malahide Road.
Appraisal
A simple milestone with attached iron plate, and an important survivor of historical way-markers in the late nineteenth-century road network of the Dublin area. It is in good condition, but easily missed, at the side of the road.
