13. Stone alignment marker

A square stone marker sits deep into a nature strip lawn

The marker is 300mm square with a domed top and is composed of quartz sandstone.

It is one of about 20 stone markers known within the Ryde local government area. 

The markers were used to establish the alignments of major roads and as surveyors’ reference points for subdivision boundaries. It was probably installed when the Herring Estate, including the homestead Bracondale, was surveyed for sale in 1919.
