Roadside verge parking. Short walk. Spade needed as ground level now above the FB! Dug away to reveal it. Original centre cap retained, raised lettering. Declined to dig out all the sight holes, so their condition remains unknown. Uninspiring farmland views.

Easy walk up field side. As others have said it is a very low one, sinking into the ground. Lovely views

My third visit. After Storm Arwen knocked over half the trees in Northumberland and the Borders I fully expected the rotten tree stump next to this pillar to have gone, but amazingly it's still there! ~~ 31/08/19: Visited a week earlier however as we arrived a storm broke around us, it was very dark, couldn't appreciate the views, got soaked and the photos taken were rubbish. So I returned on a bright, clear afternoon for a much more satisfactory visit. Excellent views of the Dirringtons to the N and the Black Hill to the W.

Remains but is sinking. I was unable to record the flush bracket. Easy access through an open field. All of 1 minute to circumnavigate a field and arrive at this pillar. Spider top is intact.

The smallest, sweetest trig point I ever did see. A quick visit after leaving the car at the roadside, but very enjoyable.

Easy to nab just inside the field. As Moira 293 found, the FB was out of bounds because of nettles.

Parked on the verge and a short walk around the field edge to the trig. The most sunken trig we've visited so far and the only one I've been able to stand on to-date! The trig was surrounded in nettles so I didn't bother attempting to unearth the FB :-o

Managed to stand on top of this one! :-D

Parked just opposite the field gate and walked around the field boundary as its been recently sewed with rape seed.

Top of Flush bracket looks fine. Didn't have adequate digging tools to unearth the rest of it!

50 yards from the road, no access problems due to numerous holes in the fenceline. FB still visible from previous excavation. Decent views across the rolling Borders countryside

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there and in good condition - apart from the flush bracket being partially buried..

Had been watching this pillar for some time and and after a few visits finally the field had been harvested (one of the last in the area). Pillar partially buried in the hedgerow at the crest of the hill close to the road.

FB buried again by ploughing and I was not for digging amongst the nettles. Pleasant spot with someone gardening at the farm.

First visit. To record FB number. The pillar was completed 8th March 1953 costing £15.19s.6d. In 1955 the flush bracket was levelled for height. This marker was computed for triangulation as tertiary station NT72/T102 in the Jedburgh secondary block in 1957. The trig point was last maintained by the OS in November 2000. FB faces nominally west. On the eastern edge of an arable field. Minor digging was required to reveal FB number.
