One of a series of late 18th century milestones on the Newbury to Oxford Road. It is rectangular with a ridge top (a design referred to by the Milestone Society as Ilsley gable) and gives the mileage to Newbury (5), Ilsley (4), Abingdon (15) and Oxford (21).

Other milestones on this road are already nationally listed – the omission of this one appears to be due to the fact that it couldn’t be seen at the time.
