kustposts
Kustposts, also known as coast posts or boundary markers, are structures historically erected along coastlines. Their primary purpose was often to delineate territorial boundaries, especially in areas where land ownership or jurisdiction was contested. These markers could also serve as navigational aids for ships approaching the shore, indicating safe harbors or treacherous areas.
The materials used for kustposts varied greatly depending on local availability and the era of their construction.
The significance of kustposts can extend beyond their practical functions. They can provide valuable archaeological evidence
