This is one of three trigs bagged today whilst driving to Kendal. Located just behind the stone wall it is easily visible and remains surrounded by its original iron fence. The FBM is in great condition with no apparent damage to the concrete block. The writing on the attached plate is clearly legible and the height above datum is recorded on the bolt as 517.21 feet. The sheep are ever present in the fields where the views are good.

I nipped to visit this on my way back from Malhamdale. The wall is in a precarious state, there is a new-looking barbed wire fence, there were lambs in the field and I don't know how I'd get out of the wrought iron pen - so I settled for a photo over the wall. It all looks in fine condition, probably due to the security!

My first FBM. I have driven past this literally hundreds of times over the years without realising what was hidden over the wall from the Skipton-Embsay road, so having done some research on FBMs and Levelling Lines it was understandably a bit exciting meeting this one face-to-face. The height and modern Ordnance Survey plates are still in place and good to see this FBM secure behind strong green railings.

As others have said on the west side of the road. There is an OS sketch - H1SD9952, but a perfectly fine cut bench mark just to the south on east side of the road is marked by the hand drawn triangle, rather than the FBM. Nice that the height tag is still present.

Well it's there, in a field just at the bend in the road. No sheep today & far less 'cluttered' than in John's photo. The wall's simple enough to climb and all the previously mentioned damage is on the field side - looks likely to collapse in places unless it's repaired soon. No cars, on foot! Revisited 20/05/2007.
