This milestone, made of what appears to be slate, stands at the southwest side of the northern terminus of Old Ayer Road, at the junction of Boston Road (MA Route 225+119). Although part of the stone has broken away over time, the script is still discernible. There is two letters 'O P' at the head of the stone, there may be more to it that's missing, but for now I don't know what they mean.

Material: Stone
Inscription: O P 30 miles (to) Worces(ter) 1787
