I was passing Telegraph, so paused to see if there was any surface evidence of the buried block, but could find nothing. From their grid references, the buried block should be 23m west and 6m south of Telegraph Tower. That would put it in the western verge of Telegraph Road.

Don't usually log buried blocks, but an exception for this one as it's on the Scillies. No idea if this block is extant as had no means to start a dig.
