An unusually high score from me considering this is a rivet but purely because it was such a lovely day for walking and a very nice spot. Missed this initially as I had the wrong coords in my GPS but then after going online and making the corrections found it just fine by brushing back the thin layer of turf. Put the stone back on top that had migrated a bit.

Trig exposed, with a large stone marking its position. Rod-style rivet embedded in concrete. Non-OS trig post approx 8m due N, can't really miss it. Replaced stone over the block.

Surprisingly good views here. Found the block after a few minutes search as it was covered in moss, so uncovered it again too. Near to another survey point sorry forgot to measure how far and take a bearing.

South side of Cairn. There is a survey pillar (probably Coal related) on the opposite side of cairn.
