At the boundary between Concord and Sudbury, along Mass. Route 117, is this stone marker that marks the boundary.
The marker is located on the south side of the road, near a small wetland. It is located about a half mile west of the intersection with Concord Road and Sudbury Road, and about eight feet from the south edge of the road. There is a town boundary sign for the highway with "Concord" on the east side, and "Sudbury" on the west side.
Parking is not easy here. I parked at a turnoff about 1/10 mile west. Be sure not to block the access road by the turnoff.
The marker is approximately four feet high and about 8 inches on a side. On one side is engraved the letter "C" for Concord and the other side is "S" for Sudbury. There are years painted on the marker.
I did not find this in the Massachusetts Harbor and Land Atlas - found on the MassDOT web site (see link below). Thus, I consider this may be a roadstone. It is right by the boundary, however.
