No longer here Don’t know what it’s supposed to be converted to unless it’s a tree

Pillar long gone. Searched for the replacement block but couldn’t find it.

TP6164 Approximate position where the trig pillar was located and the block may still be located.

If there's a surface block here then it's not been found previously and wasn't found today despite carrying out a good prodding of the ground.

Driven past here on the M3 on a weekly basis thinking it was a good place for a trig but seeing none on the map; now I know why (replaced by a buried block April 1959 so long gone). Visit to a gallery in Chobham followed by a walk from the adjacent car park, to Burrowhill, Longcross, the railway line and a monument to Queen Victoria reviewing 8,000 troops which must have been some sight.

Nice place, especially if you like a view of the adjacent M3. Good place to park and wander over the rest of the common. Not so good if you want to actually see a pillar. Me. 74m

I was in the area, attending an orienteering event on Chobham Common today. If it was still there I would have seen it.

Presumably replaced by the nearby surface block. The hole at the centre of the depression is about pillar-sized.

Found exact GPS location, only a few feet from Aux0 - Definitely missing, there is a hollow in the ground at this point, possibly where the trig was dug out?

I think this is not a pillar but a ground station as I found a piece of decaying concrete, about 20 cm sq, partly painted white with a round and a square metal stud in it. I could read no number. The location is possibly that of the fabled Chobham Treacle mines ( google it for the story!) Though I myself feel they were furthwer to the south and west by about 1/2 a mile!

A nice location marred by the sound of the M3 100m away! Found the top of the hill, found the place where the gps settled at 0m........found nothing. Looks like the pillar has been ripped out and removed.
