> I can't help but think these stones have something about them that makes them seem a little older than their "boundary stone" status
surely that depends how far back the boundaries go? many of the counties in Scotland still follow more or less the same boundaries as old Pictish kingdoms (so 1500+ years old) which in turn may have been based on earlier tribal boundaries
> The Hode Cross Stone suggests a cross base
might be cross as in cross-roads rather than standy-uppy cross (to use the technical term) - is it on a point where several old routes to other places converge?
