The Roman milestone at Mynheer Farm is a Roman roadside monument dating to the imperial period, likely erected to mark distances along a route of Romano-British communication and trade. The stone survives as a cylindrical or rectangular shaft, characteristic of Roman milestone construction, and its presence in Cornwall attests to the extent of Roman infrastructure and administration in the south-western peninsula during the occupation. The site's location reflects the importance of maintaining road systems that facilitated military movement, official travel, and commercial activity across the province. The milestone constitutes valuable archaeological evidence for understanding the patterns of Roman activity and road networks in this peripheral region of Roman Britain.
