Jenkinson, T., 2007, Exeter to Exmouth (Incorporating Sandygate to Topsham Old B3181) (Report - Survey). SDV339943.
Milestone (c1769) on the east side of the road, on the west side of Ebford village, in front of a large wall, just to the east of the A376. The stone is worn granite, and the legend reads '5/Miles/From/Exeter'.
Two routes into Exmouth from the city of Exeter that were turnpiked and had milestones and boundary markers placed at various points. Only a handful survive today and most are very worn, with their legends difficult to decipher. The milestones are characteristic design; the fairly tall tombstone type, with distances to Exeter recorded, although there are instances of Topsham and Honiton inscribed. Dating the stones here is problematic because the Exeter Turnpike Trust operated from the mid 18th century, and some of the milestones may be of this age. Quite why they are so eroded is unclear and may suggest a greater age than first thought. Other details: Surveyed 07/05/2005.

A milestone is marked as 'MS' on the Ordnance Survey MasterMap.
