Milestone ‘MORETONHAMPSTEAD 5 ¼, BOVEY TRACEY 1 ¼’

Reference: Thanks to Tim Jenkinson for details on this. There is supposed to be a benchmark on the west face, although it could not be seen. Perhaps that small indentation on the top is where there was once a bolt (rivet)?

This milestone can be found set behind the main A382 at King’s Cross. Distances measured in miles, furlongs and poles.
