Description

Line of boundary stones with 'C' marked on them. Within grounds of St Mary's Chapel (HER 145). There are only 3 clearly visible, more in the undergrowth. 6 metres apart. Next to former county boundary between Newcastle and Northumberland, so 'C' may stand for county or could the 'C' refer to William Coulson who built the bathing place at St Mary's Well in 18th century?
