Located now down the track to Upper Woodhouse Farm. The pillar sits to one side of the track and rather ignomiously has road signs affixed to it!!! Original centre cap retained, lightly indented lettering; front and LHD side sight holes open. Farmland views.

Not in its original place next to the hedge and the gate next to the road in front of farm buildings and it was raining and I was desperate for a toilet so drove down farm drive and knocked on the door of the house asking for one no reply but then an Asian guy came out of a car that they were selling and wondered if I was coming to look at the car and showed me a portacabin toilet that I could use... such a relief

Parked on the road to the east of the pillar. Walked up the A5 to the entrance to Upper Woodhouse Farm. The pillar was originally positioned on the grass verge to the east of the track that leads from the entrance up to the farm (close to the entrance). However, it has been moved to a new position further up the track, and is now very close to the farm.

At first, I could not find it but it was squeezed between two vans. Probably the least picturesque trig point to date. Glad it is still surviving, at least. I wonder how long before it is knocked over here too!

Being in the area and having read of its reported loss I decided to re-visit. A new steel I-beam has been put in place to hang the gate and tapes splay out to the A5 hedges one passing over the former site. Possibly they are going to widen the narrow entrance. The pillar foundation appears to be still in place and two layers of bricks have been used to fill up to ground level. Lack of new vegetation suggests this is recent. I went down the drive with the intention of enquiring about the pillar, but found it sat upright and intact by this drive just before the buildings and adjacent to a mobile home. There is a shallow inwardly sloping base below the former ground level of the pillar.

If the TP has been damaged but its primary function has not been affected, such as when it has been touched by a hedge trimmer, then it should be recorded as SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. If the damage affects the TP's primary function (being a permanent base for a theodolite), such as when there is a permanent lean, then it should be recorded as DAMAGED.
