Several parts of the pillar remain within the shelter cairn, and making up the cairn walls. I grouped 3 large pieces together, incluing one with a tie-down loop and a central piece of the pillar with rounded section for the centre tube, next to the largest part at LHS of entrance to cairn. Built without a FB, no spider seen. Extensive panoramic views today with a completely cloud-free sky. A pivot also exists on an outcrop by the shelter cairn entrance, being marked on the 1853 6" map as a BM and an old trig. Have changed the status from 'toppled' to 'remains'.

Middle 40% of a stone-built pillar lying in shelter cairn, no sign of metalwork. OS: Built 21/04/55, destroyed 12/05/73; OS online database indicates "HT TO TOP OF PILLAR" [282.244m] seeming to suggest built without FB: G Paterson's info from LVP@OS confirms this. Online db also says (maintenance date 1986) "bolt in hydrant box" - didn't spot this (didn't know to look for it). Heathery hill, rocky crag-girt summit. Approached from ESE this time, B8060 jct, track partway then undulating dampish heather, drier & better than from S. Rain caught me at summit, then didn't stop all day.

No trig details noted. Fine wild hill, soggy approach from S (Kintarvie).
