2 inch bolt in block with detector ring set unusually high. I filled the hole with a few smaller rocks and laid the bigger one on top, hopefully easier to get to than it was. Near edge of old quarry, lovely spot on a sunny autumn evening. Approached from road junction to West via the 2 mapped RoWs. The last of the currently known South Wales concrete ring trigs, looking forward to plenty more of Dusty's future finds :)

A great location on a fine day. Another great find by Dusty - how does he do it! It took me an age to uncover it again - my plastic trowel just wasn't up to the job and boy, that's a big rock Dusty used! Eventually I loosened it enough to pull to out and rested for a few minutes, feeling like I had just competed in the World's Strongest Man competition. Cleaned everything up to take my photo and then put it all back again!

Obvious square shape depression in grass. Kept digging. At about 14" found a concrete block. Enlarged hole and found bolt. Also concrete ring about 6" wide running round hole about 18" round. Left with large stone in hole.
