A milestone marker was also recorded along the embankment, but this was not subject to disturbance.The extant milestone is probably original to the canal. It is a plain, round-topped stone pier with a simple capital V carved on the face towards the canal. It is drawn on the sketch map made of this part of the canal in August 1889 by the Canal Engineer in his note book, labelled '5 mile'.
