This milepost from the Barnsley to Pontefract tollroad is near the bus stop on the A628 in Ackworth just north of the roundabout with the A638. It is known that it was painted in 2005. Most of the mileposts on this route do not have a backing stone so this one, larger than the casting, is probably a 20C addition. This post is the only one of those remaining that is not 'Listed'.
