Very nice. Attached is a scan of the location of the stone. It is no.
212 on the Orgambide pass, and not no. 211 on Idopil (or Iropil� as it
is spelled here) hill. Cf. the wording in the boundary treaty:

No. 212. On the pass Orgambid�aco-l�poa, at 200 metres [from no. 211 -
Peter S.], next to a rectangular hole which is not very deep but
remarkable for its rocky and vertical sides.

(Treaty on the delimitation of the boundary from the Bidasoa mouth to
the point where the departement of the Lower Pyrenees, Aragon, and
Navarre meet, signed at Bayonne, December 2, 1856)

The scan is from an IGN France 1:25000 topomap, Serie Bleue 1346-est
(St. Jean-Pied-de-Port), 2nd edition, 1986
