The boundary post is beside the A6271. The most common surviving boundary marks, often taking the form of carved stones, were put up during the 19th century when parish boundaries were re-drawn. Some have the initials of adjacent parishes carved on the appropriate sides. Others consist of metal posts, or old cannon bought from the army and filled with cement; later versions were specially cast in the shape of cannon. For a wider view of the post Image
