Place & story
A stone beside the coach road
At Gola Road in Tamlaght, a limestone milestone marked three Irish miles from Enniskillen. The Historic Environment Division’s July 2025 survey places it among surviving markers erected between about 1810 and 1835. Though damaged and repaired, it retains traces of letters and numerals. The survey reconstructs its original distances as 77½ miles to Dublin and 22½ to Cavan, alongside the Enniskillen distance. [2]
A surviving communications network
The stone belongs to a series originally comprising seventeen markers, twelve of which survived when surveyed. They stood at Irish-mile intervals along the route from Enniskillen towards the county boundary and onward through Cavan. Much of that road was built between 1808 and 1822 for mail coaches. The survey records the service continuing, with some changes of route, until 1859. [2]
