War Department boundary marker
Built into the northern boundary wall of what was once Copthorne Barracks (Sir John Moore Barracks), the headquarters of the King's Shropshire Light Infantry from the 1880s until its disbandment in the mid 1990s. This stone is carved 'W D No IX, 6ft N', and there is another similar stone, albeit rather more weathered and somewhat illegible, at the base of a brick buttress a hundred yards or so further west
Image
A couple more have survived the demolition and redevelopment of much of the barracks, and remain in the southern perimeter wall
