I've heard it called "Picnic rock" as often as "Dinner rock". Yes, I long thought it was sheep fence, but I've also been told it was to settle a dispute over lot lines. There is an iron pin/pipe on Shirley's lot line and a drill hole in a stone by Pebble Beach (it is now a sand beach that mark the end points of the fence and also thed lot line where Endicott Estates bought the center section of the island in 1950. Endicott Estates northern lot line would run from WHYC//Evans to a point south of Dinner Rock.
