Interpretive sign.
Many of the stones of the substructure have graffiti from people carving useless junk into them. However, one carving stuck out as something that might not be graffiti. This stone block appears to have been sculpted to produced a raised square section on the stone. Within this stone the text L H u D. OCT. 21 1894 is visible. This may be the initials of the stone mason and the date of their construction.
