Boundary markers


Recommended Posts

Seems a daft question, but what to bornes and ogies look like?  Our new house had 6 markers, one a 'borne ancienne' and the others 'ogie' with orange caps.  That was listed by a geometre 30 years ago and we haven't found any of them yet; some could be buried in undergrowth but the one at the entrance is not visible.  I just wonder what I'm looking for!  Is the stone marker just any old lump of stone or would it be shaped or have writing on?  Are the posts likely to be any bit of wood or a recognisable one?

Yes, they could be buried, but with the plans you still should be able to find them. Ours would have been done about 33 years ago and they looked like they were metal to me and were red, square about 100x100 with a hole in the middle for sighting.

edit the old ones could be stone, not the newer ones.
