|Location||Meeting of the borders of the East, West, and
Southfarthings| |Description||A large stone| The Three-Farthing
Stone was a stone by the side of the East Road that marked the
point where the borders of the Eastfarthing, Westfarthing and
Southfarthing of the Shire came together. It was also said to
mark a point near the centre of the Shire itself. The stone
stood about five miles southeast from Bywater, and exactly
fourteen miles west from Frogmorton. The fourth farthing, the
Northfarthing, did not meet the others at the Three-Farthing
Stone. Instead, its borders met those of the Westfarthing and
Eastfarthing about ten miles north of the Stone, though there is
no record of a second three-farthing stone to mark this spot.
Tolkien maybe got this idea from the Four Shire Stone
