Parked up at the String of Horses pub and went into the Nature Reserve opposite. Followed the path around to the barbed wire fence by the quarry road and got the feeling that no one was around so jumped over it next to the "Keep Out" sign. Followed the road to the main quarry workings and looked for the tree. No sign of anything so it looks like that bit of the planet has been dug up too. Contented myself that I'd got as close as I could to the original position so retraced my steps and popped in the pub for a beer.

Parked at the wall box, got the BM. Walked up through trees from a field gate at NY 5093 5469 to edge of the quarry. I was approx 65m from where the pillar would have stood, but the hill is now one very big sand pit.

Accessed this evening. GPS took me to a tree adjacent to a moveable conveyor belt type vehicle (I'm sure it has a proper name). The GPS indicated an altitude of 333ft, which is exactly 100ft less than the original pillar. It is perhaps unnecessary to add that there was no sign of the pillar.

Sand quarry; some indications that it is still in use.

Big hole in the ground, with some tree planting and regeneration taking place.

MIA - Now a disused sandpit, a huge disused sandpit. The hill has all but gone. Quite a scenic walk up to the lip of the crater though.
