Description

The boundary stone located north of the School of Agriculture dates from the mid-19th century and is made of sandstone. It has a triangular section and stands about half a metre high, featuring a sloped top. The left side of the stone is inscribed with "D.U./S.A." while the right side bears the inscription "D.&.C.S./H.B." The top inscription is obscured by moss. This stone likely marks the boundary of land belonging to the Dean and Chapter.
