Inscriptie NW-zijde: "Bernisse", ZO-zijde: "Putten".
De eerste vermeldingen van Geervliet houden verband met de aldaar in 1179 gevestigde tol op de Bernisse, een brede vaarweg die de eilanden Voorne en Putten van elkaar scheidde. Mogelijk was deze tol gevestigd op een stelle of terp.
Al in 1246 noteert een heer van Putten: 'in mijn winning in Geervliet'. Na 1304 werd Geervliet zetel van het bestuur van Putten.
Toen de Bernisse verlandde ging men tol op de dijk naar Heenvliet heffen.

Inscription NW side: "Bernisse", SE side: "Putten".
The first mentions of Geervliet are related to the toll on the Bernisse river, established there in 1179, a wide waterway that separated the islands of Voorne and Putten. This toll may have been located on a stelle or mound.
As early as 1246, a gentleman van Putten notes: 'in my extraction in Geervliet'. After 1304 Geervliet became seat of the board of Putten.
When the Bernisse bogged down, tolls were levied on the dike to Heenvliet.
