Roman milestone 500ft south-east of Overtown Farm is a dressed stone monument dating to the Roman period, situated in Lancashire. The milestone represents evidence of Roman road infrastructure and administrative organisation within the province, serving as a waymarker along a significant route. Such monuments typically bore inscriptions recording distances to major settlements and the reigning emperor, though weathering and fragmentation often obscure these details on surviving examples. The stone's survival reflects the durability of Roman dressed masonry and its subsequent preservation in the landscape.
