Revisited in passing. Location is edge of residents parking area. Lady I spoke to said she thought she remembered a pillar. Vaguely wondered if it lies buried under the roadside strip belonging to #4. Unlikely I guess. Pity no-one realised this was most southerly GB mainland pillar and transplanted eg to The Green.

GPS indicares it would have been on the parking area outside #2 or #3 Per Kithen. Pity it wasn't relocated. That's the NT for you - vandals. Spoke with one of the residents - estimates houses were built early 2000's. 1982 map shows the trig on a field boundary.

My 1:25000 map puts the trig point right alongside the A3083 and nowhere near any housing site. However, I could not find it but there is a huge bramble bush tangle just into the field and that could hide anything.

Not there any more. Score is for the walk from Goonhilly Downs and around the Coast Path to reach The Lizard!

this seems to have been replaced with a small housing estate, by my reckoning it would have stood near the wall by house

This was more of a drive by than a full search as it has gone.There are a few lumps of what look like builders rubble (grassed over)in the area of the estate that it might be under!I just felt as I was in the area I would stick my head around the door so to speak.

My GPSr took me to within 25 m of the site, and it is clear that the pillar has been removed to make way for housing.

Definitely missing now as there are houses where it should be (more than on Iainmacs photo) and no sign of it lying around. I even checked in some of the nearby gardens to see if it had been adopted as an up-market bird table. It's a shame this one has gone as it was the most southerly pillar in Britain.
