Answer: OBLITERATED -------> Why?

Answer 1

An OBLITERATED corner is defined as corner at whose points there are no remaining traces of monuments or its ascessories, but its location is preserved or the points which may be recovered beyond reasonable doubt by the acts and testimony of intrested borrowers, competent surveyors or other authorities or any acceptable record evidence.

So ,according to the question, there is a fence post refrenced to the corner in orignal description remains.

now, if the fence can be located, either by comparing postion with refrence to landmark, such as road, trees, lake or by any witness testimony , it is not said to be LOST corner, it is said to be OBLITERATED corner.

So, if a witness says that he/she has seen the fence, or the fence is refrenced on any other acceptable evidence, then the corner can be restored.
