The 1850 six-inch map shows the initail boundary of the area as a circle, ignoring topographical features, and this stone seems to be on this circle and is dated 1848. The early 1:2500 maps, from 1889 show a rather different detailed hatched-line boundary that follows property boundaries. I believe that this is a later Improvement Act boundary, but it is not explained in the key.
