Milestone and bench mark on Rhyd-y-Defaid bridge
This old milestone has been built into the wall of Rhyd-y-Defaid bridge on the A5104, so the tip/rivet of the bench mark has been obscured by mortar: SJ2960 : Rivet bench mark by Rhyd-y-Defaid bridge The west face of the milestone states 'To Chester 8 Miles' and the east face 'To Pontplyddyn 1 Mile' - usually spelt 'Pontblyddyn'.
