Description

This boundary stone, located 360 metres south-south-east of Freemanshill, dates from around 1776. It is made of tooled sandstone and stands upright with a gabled top. Each face features a continuous groove that runs up to the apex. The west slope of the top has an incised letter "A," representing the Freemen of Alnwick, while the east slope displays the letter "N," indicating the Duke of Northumberland. The stone measures 0.60 metres in height. The establishment of this boundary stone followed an exchange of land with the Duke, which granted the Alnwick corporation lands "near the Freeman's Well" in 1776.
