As Dusty says this isn't the trig but an arrow pointing to where it was. os have Block, Ht to bolt in block. Dest 02/73. Arrow isn't a BM either: the block itself was levelled.

OS have as destroyed. What is left is probably some kind of witness mark pointing to its location.

Witness mark?

Well there may not be a pillar up here but it's a place not to be missed. Certainly on a day like today. Pity about that massive wind farm out to sea. Bet if you come back in 50 years the view and the castle will still be here but the wind farm will be gone. I consider myself an environmentalist and an engineer but these things are a nonsense.

The trig is sited in a hill fort on top of a mountain in Snowdonia National Park to the west of Conwy town. A flat rock was found with OSTP and an arrow engraved on it, but no bolt. The site was reached by walking the paths and tracks from the Sychnant Pass. The mountain has outstanding views of the North Wales coast from Anglesey to Flintshire as well as the mountains of Snowdonia, the Denbighshire hills and the Clwydian Range.

Walked up from Conwy noting the bolt on the way up. Views simply brilliant.

Obvious large square rock with initials OSTP and an arrow at the highest point of the hill. I also found the mentioned bolt, on the path down towards Conwy, its on a sloping rock left side of the path.

Visted on a walk from Conwy to Penmaenmawr to log several trigs in the area. I also noticed what appears to be a bolt on the side of a rock about 30-50 metres away along the path to the ENE (see pics).

Is this another trig point nearby? Close up.

I didnt expect to find anything here as the OS database states the the trigpoint here (bolt in block) was destroyed on the 02/73. I was mainly up here for the fantastic views & to see the hillfort. I was therefore surprised to come across a a flat stone with the letters OSTP (Ordnance Survey Triangulation Point?) carved into it together with a arrow. There was no sign of any bolt. Given it a high mark due to the views.
