One of three gazetteer-type milestones erected 1 mile from Aberystwyth around 1900. The milestone used to bear an Ordnance Survey benchmark on its North face (right) which has been destroyed by the re-surfacing and re-lettering of this milestone, which is apparent when compared to its counterpart in nearby Penparcau: Image Height: 4.6147m OD (Newlyn). Mark verified by the Ordnance Survey in 1955. Description: MS SW SIDE LLANBADARN RD. 0.2m above ground. 3rd Order BM. The previous milestone, that this one replaced, bore a benchmark which was included as a branch level on the Warrington to Pembroke Docks line of the First Primary Levelling of England and Wales in 1851-1852. Description: Mark on the 1st milestone from Aberystwyth ; 1.79 ft. above surface. Page 533 of the abstract: http://www.trigtools.co.uk/data/1GL/1GLA_533.png
