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 eighteen inches high.
The marker is located on the west side of Sagamore Street, about 1.1 miles from Route 22, and 1.6 miles from Route 133. It is about six feet from the edge of the pavement, and directly in front of a stone wall.
Note that this is a
Witness Monument (WM). The actual town line corner is an unmarked point about four feet west of the stone marker.
The next adjacent marker heading north is
Hamilton-Ipswich 3, 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.
The next adjacent marker heading northwest is
Hamilton-Ipswich 5 WM, 0.3 miles.
