The third bag of the day on the Cumbrian Coast avoiding the rain falling on the Lakeland Fells. Nothing much to see, simply parked at the right hand bend on the Bridleway to the west and walked along the quarry path. Stopped at the point of the long lost pillar, had a look around, took a screen shot of the spot on my OS App and returned to the car.

Was located somewhere within first 10m of a raised field boundary, odd this one's gone, but no sign of it anywhere and OS record is as destroyed July 1991. So gone it is.

Would have been somewhere along this gorsey field bdy TP5091©jonglew

gps puts it in se corner of field not on track. poss buried in hedgebank but I doubt it. gps elev matches os elev for trig 39m so I doubt the area has been quarried and reinstated. 1991 os destruction date coincides with when they offered to remove a number of farm trigs when the farmer wished it, so I've been told

This demise was unnecessary. GPS lead me to a spot beside the hedgeline which was not engulfed by the dirt track. Built 11/49, destroyed 7/91 (LVP@OS). Rogue farmer or landowner suspected.

GPS locate GRP marks the spot

I suspect sand quarrying may have removed the top of this hill.

We parked at the sharp corner and walked towards the trig. Some archaeologists were carrying out a dig in the first field. The hedgeline where the trig was is still there and has not been engulfed by the sand quarry yet so there's no real reason why it should have been destroyed. It's definiteley not there though, as a load of cows and calves will testify - the inhabitants of the field.
