Remains 25th Feb 2024  16:09  by peregrinus

FB Number: Not logged  Condition: Remains  Score: 5/10

Remains - of tower foundations not trig block. 3 stanchion bases (all with the metal stubs bent over - CJO possibly found another with metal stub upright), 2 rough concrete bases with remains of wooden posts, 1 other rotting concrete base. Trig block is mapped at E edge of the former tank, probably at W edge of the track (former access track?); if so I should have been looking in the right place. I only found 3 bases, but if the 25k map is correct and it was 30m dia, there should be more stanchions; the 3 I found are in a square, at approx 3.5m spacing. Nice walk in from SW, parking at gate.

Stanchion base with metal stub bent flat
Location looking S Backpack marks a 2nd stanchion base under fallen branches
Rough concrete base with rotted remains of concrete post
Location looking N Backpack marks a 3rd stanchion base under fallen branches. Water to R is on track; block should be immediately L of track?


Couldn't find it 4th Dec 2016  11:45  by CJO

Base of tower remains - concrete anchors with tower legs stubs. Cleared those looking for rivet or block bolt. Nothing found but a toad. Otherwise extensive probing found nothing worth digging for. Another nice walk through the trees.
