It is inscribed with the following text: "This stone stands on the prehistoric landmark Grimsdyke, which forms part of the boundary of the Parish of Chipping Barnet" and "This stone was originally a boundary stone of the Whetstone and Highgate Turnpike trust which built Barnet Hill about 1823."

Local climate

Boundary Stone sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 700 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
