No evidence of the pillar or replacement block remains. Now within the Heartwood Forest. Good views to several other trig points.

Quick drive by no sign, not that I was expecting any after the information in the previous logs, looks to be long long gone this one – logged for completeness and to get it off my TomTom.

Arable field 15m N of track, very low crop, no trace of pillar. S4468 at TL 16507 11328 according to OS records : www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm20927 : <[TL32/T13] reported destroyed 1948; evidently replaced by Block> (itself destroyed 07/62 according to OS trig archive). Site is now owned by Woodland Trust and part of Heartwood Forest although the pillar site is still in farm tenure at present. I checked hedgerows and woodland edges, also went to the nearest farm (Hillend). Farmhouse is fenced and apparently being renovated and allegedly guard-dogged so I didnt check the yard, and suspect that the OS would have removed and destroyed pillars in those days. Popular area with (non-guard) dog walkers and horse riders, on a frosty morning. OS trig archive lists a supposedly-current Block nearby, Hillend Farm at TL 16335.563 11384.047, 200m WNW of trig site, at/near track bend. I had a quick look but made no serious attempt to find - ground frozen.

Ex-S4468 site looking W to Hillend Farm Block site Current Block should be close to the nearer hedge end
Hillend Farm Block site Current Block should be near this track bend
