Obtained the OS station record from the National Archive for this one. This includes a report dated Jan 1972 "Cinder and Rubble Platform gradually falling away (stable at present)". The sketch shows that the mark was located on this platform, 0.2 metres S from the top of the embankment and 1.37 metres from the E edge of the platform. The sketch also notes "Very poor wall supporting cinders". Theres also some interesting correspondence between the OS and the Railway authorities regarding the terms and conditions of access. Today's visit found that the top of the embankment is clear but the S side is now heavily overgrown. The E edge of the platform was identified but the rest has now fallen away.

SE44 T115 BLOCK. On a steep-sided railway embankment which is now disused and has a nice grassy covering that is used for grazing by horses. No gravel remains. Large stone block and chunks of concrete litter the south side of the embankment. Probing unearthed some flat sandstone blocks. Strongly suspect this block was lost when the railway line was decommissioned. However, there is something of interest nearby. Continue on along the PROW and under the now gone railway bridge and a BM rivet can be found on a toppled stone gate post at GR SE20799 32596. Still has its original red paint.
