In Norwood, within Veterans Memorial Park, is this datum disk for Norfolk County.

Veterans Memorial Park is bounded by Route 1A (Walpole Street), Chapel Street, and Berwick Street. From there, walk toward the center of the park to a low rock outcrop and the disk.

The disk is a bronze circular landmark a little higher than the rock, and less than 2 inches in diameter. On the face is the following:

Along inside of of circle: "County of Norfolk - Datum Disk"

Inside:
[Trangle with Dot]
"N W 38"

Note that the last digit appears to be double struck - there is a 7 as well. I believe that the eight was struck over the seven.

The mark is in good condition.
