The Millpond [Concord] - Massachusetts Historical Markers on Waymarking.com

This is most likely a mark set by the Town of Concord. It sits on the east side of the easternmost building on the south side of Main Street, and reads:

"1636 - The Millpond
Used for water, fish, power and skating lay south and west of this spot. April 19, 1775 British troops dumped captured cannon shot, musket balls and barrels of flour into the pond. The militia later recovered most of the ammunition and a good part of the flour from the centers of the barrels.
Small shops built on the dam, which is now the street, extended to the south over the water. The pond was drained and the Mill Brook set in its present course in 1836."
