Exterior Description And Setting

Small, ‘triangular’ granite (‘presentment type’) milestone of perhaps c.1780-1800, set next to the corner of the Down Civic Arts Centre at the corner of Irish Street and Scotch Street. The milestone is well worn but ‘Castlewellan 9’ (miles) and ‘Newry [?24]’, and an OS benchmark, are still discernable on its SW face.
