The OS sketch at https://trigpointing.uk/wiki/File:TP8501_Plantation_Sketch.jpg shows various short measures from the trig, including a lamppost, roadside drain and to the start of the pavement across the motorway bridge. The latter was indeterminate but the end of the concrete parapet gave a close approximation. The search was therefore confined to a small area. The distance from lamppost to wooden fence was measured as 0.75m, matching the sketch distance 'a'. This implied that the trig was below the fence whereas the sketch showed a gap, suggesting that the fence may have been reconstructed nearer the road. Measured sketch distance 'b' parallel to the fence, to a position slightly W of the lamppost. Vegetation cleared and verge probed. Ground fairly soft but numerous small stones hindered progress. Nothing of interest found. Gave up after about 20 mins - too warm for digging today. The sketch doesn't show the driveway and gate. It seems possible that the present fence was installed at the same time and the change to the boundary line resulted in the trig's demise. But the next visitor might wish to take a spade and excavate a little deeper to confirm.

(1277) Parked in entrance way across the road. Rough track at location. Suspect this one is gone as well.

GPS points to ground on rough entrance track covered in grass and gravel. quick prod showed futility in continuing together with the rather blunt GOML notice.
