The last time I was here, I didn't notice this original milestone; the Milestone Centre is in the background. Difficult to make out the numbering in this one, but I think that it is Omagh 9 - Dungannon 11 (in Irish miles), as I know the total should be 20. One conclusion that I have made is that the old coach road didn't run through the town, as the Quarry Road by-passes it to the south. Another place where the figures don't add up is this one on the Hospital Road, which is part of the same coach route - see Image]
