The medieval town boundaries extended well outside the walls. The burgesses controlled an area enclosed by Hill Lane, Burgess Street (now Burgess Road) and the land west of the River Itchen. The limits of the old town were marked by boundary stones, some of which still survive like the Rosemary Stone seen here. It is on the northern edge of Southampton Common, opposite 47 Burgess Road.
