Drove up the residential road to near the masts where there is a small parking area and a path through the wood / hedge to the field where the trig used to be.

Still missing, still setaside, GPS indicated 50ish m SE from transmitter buildings. I asked at Doeshill Farm but an old farmhand there knew nothing of a trig and they dont farm that land anyway. He referred me to Barleylands (a big setup further west). I called into the office there and the Commercial manager checked on Google Maps, confirmed the location was theirs, and in setaside. He subsequently advised: <I have spoken to the foreman and Director who farms that section of land and they cannot ever remember seeing it. I have had a look around our storage sheds here and found nothing.> I couldnt relocate the local resident from before for any more clues.

After scratching around in the bush for a while a local chap, curious as to my activities, explained in some detail that the local farmer had pulled the trig out using his tractor and it had laid in his farmyard for some years but was unsure whether it was still there. It definately wasn't where it should be!

gone - setaside, farmer removed it c.2001 & put it in his yard according to resident of adjacent house. So who will refind it….. Doeshill Fm to SSE? OS trig archive says: 4/94 TO BE DEMOLISHED but no record of the deed being done. Also says Refixed 1984 (within a few cm of original location) FB was S3447. Jim Cain bagged it 21/08/1990.
