Field Visit (15 June 2016)
This boundary stone, one of a series that demarcated the land purchased by the War Department in 1899 (National Archives: WO192/195) for the Ardhallow Gun Battery (NS17SE 6), has been set into a rubble wall on the NNE side of the former driveway to Gairhill. The stone measures 0.31m in width and at least 0.64m in height, the lower 0.12m of which is more roughly tooled, perhaps suggesting that the stone was originally intended to be set into the ground. On the W face there is an inscription ‘W’ and ‘D’ flanking an upward pointing arrow, below which is ‘No.7’.
