The Roman milestone at Mynheer Farm is a standing stone monument dating from the Roman period, likely erected during the Imperial occupation of Britain. The stone bears an inscription, though weathering has affected its legibility, and it represents evidence of Roman road infrastructure and administrative control in Cornwall during the first few centuries AD. Such milestones typically marked distances along major routes and served as markers of Roman territorial presence in the south-western peninsula. The survival of this monument demonstrates the enduring physical legacy of Roman Britain in the Cornish landscape.
