The Threestoneburn Outlying Boundary Stones
-2000 · Cheviot Hills, Near Ilderton, Northumberland, England
Description
Associated with the Threestoneburn Stone Circle (a scheduled ancient monument comprising 16 pink granite stones), this site includes unique outlying stone alignments that historically served as ancient moorland bounds across the Cheviot Hills. Extensively surveyed by antiquarians like George Tate in the 19th century, these stones demarcated early upland grazing and jurisdictional limits across the wild border territory.
