Description

Tidestone is an early 19th-century sandstone pillar, erected to mark the limit of an extreme high tide in 1802.

The front faces northeast and features an ashlar surface inscribed with the words: THE TIDE / CAME TO / THIS STONE / JANUARY / 21, 1802. The rear and sides of the stone are blank.
