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.
