A boundary mark is commonly a large wooden peg, chamfered at the top and painted white, or an alloy or stainless-steel disk marked “boundary mark” and anchored into a fence post or into the concrete.
These are usually square, usually wooden, white painted pegs in the corners of property boundaries, with boundary lines generally in a straight lines between points.
In New Zealand, survey marks are protected by law - including any located on private land. It is an offence under the Cadastral Survey Act 2002 to knowingly or recklessly remove them or alter their positions.
Online aerial maps (like those available on some council websites) give you a starting point. However, the definitive description of your boundary is on the legal title for your property. There is usually at least one diagram on your title which will have the set measurements of all of your boundaries' locations.
