This Milestone can be found on Ballaure Raod near to the Ballure MER crossing at Ballure Cottage. It is made from Sandstone and is inscribed as follows:
"Douglas
XV.
Miles."

It is the final milestone of the set of milestones on the road from Douglas. The Douglas - Ramsey set were the second stones to be erected in the Island. It dates from between 1796 and 1826.

The distances on Manx milestones are measured from the Douglas Market Place (visit link)

This stone is actually 15 and 5/8th miles from the Market Place according to Stuart Slack in his book 'Manx Milestones'
