Old milepost This post was completely bare of paint in 2005 and leaning slightly.  Work has been done to set it upright and paint it but in 2020 it is rusting quite badly with just traces of the yellow paint used on this and other posts along this road.   It is near to Drinnan just south west of a very minor crossroads.
