I’ve been digging though some of the original documents from when I bought the house and one of them, from the land registry, indicates that that ‘the walls fences hedges or boundaries marked with the letter ‘T’ inwards on the plan annexed hereto shall belong to the Property.’
The plan shows the ‘T’ inwards on my side of the boundary which suggests the boundary is mine and, as the concrete posts align with the boundary as it appears on the plan, I’m guessing that means I own the posts.
Given what you say regarding the T, ordinarily you would indeed own those posts.

Re the sentence above in bold, (as someone who used to work for a bank/building society and from time to time had to explain boundary queries to borrowers, (based on the advice and interpretation of Head Office's legal team), - that is my understanding too. I.e. the T is one the side of the person who owns the fence/posts and whose responsibility it is to maintain that boundary.
