There are a number of markers in Carlisle that are definitely
historic and have no bearing on current boundaries. The border with
Concord has changed several times over the years, and there are
markers out in the woods that once delineated part of the old Blood
Farm and other areas. <br>
<br>
I'll have to correct the guy who told me the markings were for high
school class years. Live and learn.<br>

Why historic? These stones are official markers with current legal
standing. I would tend to man_made=survey_point. (Some current
features have historic value, but these are not merely historic.)
And if the most recent date is 70, you should hassle your selectmen, but
don't be surprised if you get appointed and have to dig that last report
out of the town vault!
