Default attaching wooden fence posts to a nice stone topped wall

have a say 1m fence to construct atop a nice old curved low stone
built garden wall, gtopped with some nice old large bits of flattish
stone (think wall that had railings ontop before they were cut off for
the war).
The wall is also sloped so the fence will be hand built to suit - i.e.
not panels

Standard ways of attaching fence posts to masonry/concrete are pretty
foul bolt down jobbies that look naff and don;t last long IMHO. Also
drilling 4 holes is asking for bother on capping stones, and I expect
they won't cope with the slope well and will look even more naff...

So looking for a neat way of attaching wooden posts to sloping coping
stones...??

Sure I;ve seen some post "shoes" with a length (12"?) of rebar
attached vertically underneath presumably to concrete in - can't find
em now- was thinkinig I could drill the stones (and better down into
the wall) for the rebar and then use resin to anchor them in?

Any thoughts?

Cheers
Jim K
