Parked on Jersey Close, RoW leading up side of 67 Jersey Close is easiest access. The double electric poles will be seen on the left of the footpath, Marl's Way. OS Sketch worked well with measurements from both poles, TrigJS's brick was also a good guide. Cleared vegetation and excavated the block; left it open with the brick upright next to the marker... which is a 1/4" rod.

Didn't notice TrigJS's log so may pop back and have a proper look with more light!

If the block still exists it’s hidden in a hedgerow under the power lines. Revisit - 4 November 2022 at 0947 - after Jon Glew uploaded a huge batch of OS station diagrams from the National Archives to the TPUK wiki I took the opportunity to revisit this TP to search for the buried block. Block was found deep within a hedge next to the power line poles. Block with rod survey marker was located about 25 cm below the surface. I measured the offsets as being 90 cm from the North Pole and 180 cm from the southern pole. Backfilled the hole but left a brick directly above the survey rod as a marker.
