This post was discovered in 2021 when a trench on the verge of the A926 for services to a new house was being dug. It was probably toppled and covered over in 1940. Kirriemuir and Alyth are both to the east with Blairgowrie, on the bevel, 2¼ miles to the west. This milepost is typical of the milemarkers in this area but it is not known at which foundry they were cast.
