In 2009 this milestone is located about 10 feet East of Llanalew Road in the hedge on the North side of the pike. The Buck Tavern was located about a 1/4 mile of the 8th milestone on the South side of the road. It was a Stage Stand of the first order. Despite a citizen effort to save it, it was demolished in 1964.
