---County Boundary Stone---
We are lucky to have at the eastern end of our village a Grade II Listed Boundary Stone set into Castle Ely Bridge - this is just outsde our village.
---Milestones---
We also have two Milestones - one opposite Myrtle Villaa which is at the eastern end of the village and one on a disused loop of road close to Oakland's House.
---Milestone Makers---
The Milestones are marked 'MOSS & SONS 1838'.
---Turnpike Road---
They are on what was the old main turnpike road from Carmarthen to Hobb's Point.
Later to become the A477 trunk road into South Pembrokeshire.
---Llanteg Toll Gate---
Llanteg Tollgate was run by 'Billy the Gate', William Oriel - who was the village cobbler, tollgate keeper and vilage schoolmaster all rolled into one.
William's wife was an invalid and he would puh her around the village in a basket invalid chair.
Nothing remains of our village tollgate but it appears to have been situated at the S.W. corner of Llanteg Crossroads to the west of Llanteg Garage.
Myrtle Villa Milestone
This milestone is the eastern end of the village east of Llanteg Garage, on the side of the A477 trunk road so not easy to get at.
It is called the Myrtle Villa milestone purely because it is opposite that property.
It is called the Myrtle Villa milestone purely because it is opposite that property.
May 2016 - newly painted and with nice black lettering.
We are assuming that it was done by the Trunk Road Agency as the other
two stones on old loops of road have not been done.
