Date of Survey: 23rd August 2004. Milestone situated about 50 metres uphill and west of Strete Gate picnic area, at extreme north end of the Slapton Lane, against wall on south side of road. In fair condition, although it was completely covered with vegetation. Retains its white paint and black painted legend, 'To/Kingsbg/9/To/Dartmo/6/'. One of a remarkable run of stones between Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The Kingsbridge and Dartmouth Trust was found in 1759 but the stone may date from the mid 19th century when the Slapton Line was built.
