Description

The boundary stone near the former boathouse at Kingston Malthouse Point dates from 1700. It is a large slab of slate-stone set on edge, forming one side of a gate opening close to an unused farm building. The slab is approximately 2 meters high and up to 1 meter wide, with a thickness varying from about 200 to 250 millimeters. The top of the slab tapers, and it has two drill holes for a former gate hinge, with part of the hinge still remaining. Above this, there is a roughly carved inscription 'A 1700' set vertically on an area that was previously painted red. The slab is backed by a run of dry-stone walling, which is not included in the listing. The exact purpose of the stone is unclear, but it is located in an area on Wonwell Beach that once saw significant activity, including lime burning, and there are remnants of various small buildings nearby. It is included in the listing for its historical interest.
