3 Boundary Stones To North Of Black Lough

There are three boundary stones located to the north of Black Lough, dating from the 18th century or early 19th century. Made of sandstone, these rectangular, flat-topped stones range in height from 0.20 to 0.60 metres. The western stone, which is partly obscured by a rubble wall, has an incised 'S' on its south side. The central stone also features an 'S', while the eastern stone is marked with 'N.o.5' and 'S'. Each stone has an incised 'P' on its north side. These stones indicate part of the boundary between the Edlingham and Lemmington townships. William Pawson acquired the Lemmington estate from the Fenwick family in 1825, but the stones may date back to the 18th century, with the Fenwick 'F' possibly recut as a 'P'.
