These marked the border between Hong Kong and China.
The discovery of the marker stone at Sai Wan redoubt by HKU students and teachers in 2015 is described in a press release and a presentation.
Hi there,
Spotted this stone while walking along Peak Road West earlier today. I was walking anti-clockwise and before reaching the gate to the Meteological Station I spotted a slap of stone beside a tree in the woods. Going near it and found it reads [張宅山界], which mean Cheung's boundary literally.

As mentioned in the book this stone is right next to a house in Tai Shek Hau Village.
