Explanation
A monument is a physical marker placed by a licensed surveyor at property corners and along boundary lines. Monuments include iron pins/rods, concrete markers, brass disks, and sometimes natural features (trees, rocks). Delaware land descriptions often reference monuments ('to an iron pin set') and in conflicts between calls in a deed, monuments generally prevail over courses and distances.
