What's a King's Mark?

Dear Global Surveyors,

A family member was told by an experienced, licensed surveyor that he had a "King's mark" on his land (in New England, USA).
I can not find any information on such a thing, online anyway.
Can you tell me more about this, and how might I go about verifying such a thing?
It is a very simple rock engraving, and the surveyor said that he had never seen one before.
From what I understand, when the King 'claimed' land in what is now New England it was marked off in square miles (?) or some such dimension, presumably for land grants or sale. I guess this mark is leftover from that era.
Any information or reference citation you can provide would be great; thank you.
