Concrete Fence Posts

[Shilbottler]

I know it's a strange subject but I'm having trouble trying to source a morticed concrete fence post and you guys know everything.

I'm building a length of stone wall about 3 feet high and want to embed some morticed concrete posts in it. The idea is to make up the height to 6' using close board timber. The Co-op in Alnwick has a lovely example of the type of fence post I'm after but I can't find them in the North-East. Their fence is neat, strong and the contrast between the dark stained wood and white concrete is pleasing to the eye .... a nice tidy fence. You know you're past it when your heads turned by an attractive fence.

Ideally a six foot post with three morticed holes top, middle and bottom to accept something like a 3" x 1" or 4" x 1" timbers as rails. The bottom one woud be redundant since it would be buried in the wall. The top and middle mortices would be the top and bottom rails for the wooden section.

Any help would be appreciated
