This is one of many stones used to mark the "corner" points on the boundary lines between towns in Massachusetts, in this case, the Town of Hamilton and the Town of Ipswich. The letters "H" (for Hamilton) and "I" (for Ipswich) are inscribed on opposite sides. It is approximately eight inches square and twelve inches high.

The marker is located on the west side of Sagamore Street, about 1.4 miles from Route 22, and 1.3 miles from Route 133.

The next adjacent marker heading north is Hamilton-Ipswich 2, about 25 yards (directly across the street).
The next adjacent marker heading south is Hamilton-Ipswich 4 WM, 0.3 miles. Note that the town line to this marker is not a straight line, but rather follows the west side of Sagamore Street.
