Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Lindsay Holdoway to undertake a programme of conservation, refurbishment works and monitoring during the excavation, relocation and re-erection of a cast iron milepost situated on the south side of Boreham Road, Warminster, Wiltshire. The Milepost is Grade II listed (list entry number 1364457) and dated circa 1840. Listed building consent was granted, subject to certain conditions, by Wiltshire Council for the relocation of the milepost to facilitate the construction of a junction serving the proposed adjacent residential development of Boreham Mead. The milepost was excavated and lifted on 24th January 2017 and transported to Wessex Archaeology's offices for conservation and refurbishment works. It was re-erected on 28th February 2017. The new position of the milepost is approximately 30 m to the west of its former location and centred on NGR 389050, 144255. One of a series of mileposts on roads radiating from Warminster that are dated c. 1840 and made by the firm Carson and Miller of Warminster which operated between 1816 and 1909. Unusually, the cast iron milepost was set into another 18th - early 19th century stone milestone which had been used as a base. The discovery of a milepost attached to an earlier milestone has been considered 'possibly unique' by the Milestone Society.
