KJF Bit bonkers this one. Just when you think you've seen everything - a buried trig - the vegetation had almost hidden it completely, but its easy to locate being at the N end of the pool where the sea wall widens for access - its on the landward side. Nice sunny day in the main and a nice temperature for walking a 10m circuit from Goxhill. Views from the sea wall are reasonable with views over the Humber to Kingston-upon-Hull where a P&O ferry sat on the quayside. Assumed flush bracket is there but obviously haven't seen it.

(78) Lincolnshire's most northerly pillar. Nice to find an excuse to return to East Halton skitter again. Cracking views across the Humber, and wildlife aplenty. An interesting one in that it's nearly completely buried, and I walked passed it once, before doubling back and finally locating it. I've awarded it a high score for the location, and the pillar's unusual setting. Marked as 'good' though I can only assume it's all complete. REVISIT: 4/4/21 With lockdown easing again, time to have a slightly further afield wander. A blustery but sunny day. Nice walk as always - 15 minutes each way to the pillar from the parking spot. Got a GR for the pillar this time. All still as it was. Also bagged a couple of BMs whilst in the area. Pillar history: Built on the 24th of May 1939, at a cost of £4 16s 6d. Last maintained by the OS in July of 1987.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there in the condition previously described.

How can a four foot pillar be hard to find? When it is buried beyond it's neck up to five foot in an earth bank.

Logged as a YSM when it first visited here. As a child I used to go shooting & ferreting at a nearby pond, the owner's wish was that it would eventually be turned into a Nature Reserve for everyone to enjoy

My last pillar in Lincolnshire. Cycled up from Woody's Top YHA near Louth, visiting the Immingham FBM en route. Sat on seawall at end of road to South for lunch stop. A warm sunny day. Sight of ships moored on far side of Humber and oil terminal at North Killingholme. After, rode along top of flood bank to pillar, about 1km from gas pipeline valves. Easy to find just beyond pool on left by access ramp.

I was passing this way again with walking friends and asked them to guess what might be lurking below grass cuttings and stones here. Not surprisingly, no correct guesses! It was good to reveal this one again after an interval of 9 years since my last visit.

Missed it at first. Re-looked at logs and kicked myself for not reading properly first. Just past the pond in line with field hedge going off SW on the SW edge of the top of the dike in concrete pipe with just top visible under a few stones.

It would have been so easy to raise the trig when the flood bank was raised.

Amazed this on was not destroyed when they built up the flood bank. Surprisingly easy to find even without GPS as it is inside a concrete pipe with a few stones on top. One of the more interesting trigs.

Just beyond pond in line with hedge. Almost a buried block! Had to dig it out to reveal spider. A great initial find. Grass-cutting is chopping up the surrounding drain pipe into small rocks from which we built a protective cairn on top.

A buried trig - unusual! Thanks Brisey - would never have suspected this one. Plug intact and top surface OK; rest of pillar presumed to be in good condition. Industrial views of Salt End across the Estuary and the flare stacks around Killingholme. An interesting walk from the bridge; hundreds of butterflies - mostly large/small and green-veined whites and painted ladies also peacocks, small tortoiseshells, common blue and meadow browns. Lots of ladybirds also. Several NRA survey bolts in the embankment.

Well found that man!! The bit that's visible is vgc, metal cap, shallow letters. Top of embankment at SW quadrant of junction of access ramp with flood bank, just W of a largeish pool. Initially walked straight past it, in rain: was covered with grass and pieces of broken concrete. Saltmarsh blue with Sea aster.

Found it! It's buried in the flood bank. After my last visit, I wondered how the concrete pipe could be a relic of a pillar. Also, the flood banks here were raised after the 1953 east coast floods which didn't seem the right era for the OS to permit the pillar to be destroyed. So I wondered if the pipe was in fact a protective chamber for the pillar. That proved to be right, the pillar is inside the pipe and covered by a few inches of stones. I have called the condition good because that what it appears to be from the top, and there is no other appropriate condition. The flush bracket is impossible to get at because the gap between the pillar and the pipe has filled with soil and likely to be too far and too narrow at the FB depth, even if you knew which side the FB was on.

I was lured into visiting this remote spot by an English Nature map published in 2004 using OS data. The map showed the trig point although the OS do not. Guess who was right! However, at the location there is a large diameter concrete pipe set vertically the ground. Could this be a relic of the TP? During the walk along the flood bank I didn't find any more of these so its presence at the right spot seemed significant. The GR is for the pipe, to 10 m only.
