On the right the brick pier marks the entrance to Ravenscroft Park, while the white Portland Stone in front is an old boundary stone, now a Grade II Listed Structure. The carved inscription is now so worn that the photographer is indebted to the English Heritage website for providing this transcription:- ""This stone stands on the pre-historic landmark Grimsdyke, which forms part of the boundary of the Parish of Chipping Barnet" and "This stone was originally a boundary stone of the Whetstone and Highgate Turnpike trust which built Barnet Hill about 1823"."
