The Kilgetty milestone

Situated on the north side of the road, more or less opposite the Co-op, and recording 11 miles to Hobb's Point and 22 miles to Carmarthen. It was only when a resident saw my interest asked me if I had spotted the 'flaw' in these mileages that the penny dropped - the milestone is now on the wrong side of the road; Carmarthen is to the east of here (ie off to the right) so that plate should have been legible as you approached the stone. Hence it started life on the south side of the road, and has been repositioned at some stage.
