A milestone (circa 1879) located in the bank, on the east side of the road to Bittadon and Church Farm. It was found to be leaning back, worn and part sunk. It's legend read '6/BARUM'.
There are relatively few milestones surviving on the route of the B3230, from Barnstaple to Ilfracombe. The road was built in c.1827, but the markers date from 1879 and were set at the roadside just prior to the closure of the Barnstaple Turnpike Trust, each bearing the medieval Latin name for the town of 'BARUM'. Other details: Surveyed 22/11/2006.
