On the North side of the road under a hedge. Inscription is partly readable. Erected by the Bristol Turnpike Trust, probably in the 18ᵗʰ century judging by the use of Roman numerals. The distance to Gloucester is 22 miles, but unless that inscription was below ground, it probably never read it. Inscription: XII / (Mi)les to / B(r)istol Milestone National ID: GL_GLBRA22
