Gweddillion pitw y Black Cock Inn a safai'r wrth ochr yr heol Rufeinig a'r hen ffordd goets fawr. Yn 1769, wrth i weithwyr gwella'r ffordd dyrpeg yn y lleoliad hwn, fe ddaethpwyd o hyd i garreg filltir Rufeing gydag enw Postimus wedi ei harysgrifio ar un ochr a Victorinus ar y llall. Aethpwyd â'r garreg i Landeilo ond credir ei bod hi bellach yn anffodus ar goll. The scant remains of the Black Cock Inn located on the old Roman road and later coach route. At this location in 1769 workers, while improving the turnpike road, unearthed a Roman milestone with the name Postimus inscribed on one side and Victorinus on the other. The stone was removed to Llandeilo but unfortunately it is now believed to be lost.
