Two milestones at West Kingsdown is a pair of Roman road markers located in Kent. These milestones date to the Roman period and would have marked distances along an important routeway, serving both administrative and practical functions for travellers and officials using the road network. The stones themselves are characteristic examples of Roman milestone design, typical of those erected throughout the provinces to standardise measurement and facilitate communication across the empire. Their survival at West Kingsdown provides evidence of the Roman road infrastructure that connected the region during the occupation period.
