Description
DUNNERDALE AND SEATHWAITE NY 20 SE 2/70 Boundary stone on site of Three Shire Stones II
Boundary stone. Dated 1816, when it was carved, but not put into position until c1860. Erected as a memorial to William Field (1770-1860) of Cartmel who served as Bridge-master and High Constable and commissioned the work originally. Single rough-dressed pillar, rectangular in plan and c. 6 ft high; W.F. 1816 appears on the north face and LANCASHIRE on the south, all in raised Roman capitals. Intended by Field to serve as a more conspicuous marker to show the location of the Three Shire Stones which marked the meeting of Cumberland, Westmorland and Lancashire north of the sands. These stones are marked on Saxton's 1610 map of Westmorland but have since disappeared; they were each c. 1 ft high and were arranged in a triangle c. 1 ft apart, each occupying a different county.
