The Marker Posts were installed on 1st November 2003 at the eastern entrance to the town on Taunton Road (southside), just before the roundabout. They were the first part of an ongoing project, the Wiveliscombe Heritage Arts Trail.

The sculptor Robert Koenig created the Posts and some of his notes are printed below:

I carved 3 large oak columns or marker posts. The length of each above ground is 9ft. A variety of images relating to the town of Wiveliscombe were carved into the wood. These images are a selection chosen from my initial research into the town's history, myths and traditions. The research included a site visit, studying the video produced by the Wiveliscombe Parish Map Group. I also took into consideration suggestions by the Wiveliscombe Arts Consortium. The carvings were made during the summer of 2003. The images used are as follows :

Column 1.

1. The tower of St. Andrews Church, the top of which is just visible as one approaches the roundabout into the town.

2. A carved representation of a Roman silver coin from the King's Castle, Wiveliscombe hoard.

3. A beer barrel

4. A row of bottles, all relating to the strong brewing tradition in the town.

5. Rugby balls.

6. Rugby players and a winged cat.

Column 2.

1. A wyvern, reportedly seen flying around the tower of St. Andrews Church.

2. An impression of the distinctive hanging slates/tiles on the gable walls on the High Street.

3. Two rolls of Pennistone cloth.

4. Skittles

5. Hunting dogs.

Column 3.

1. A Green Man.

2. Relief carvings relating to those that exist on the façade of Court House.

3. A tractor

4. Sheep

5. A corn motif, all relating to the town's agricultural tradition.

Two of the columns have been capped with copper.
