Occasionally, a triangulation mark type of 'mark' was recorded. 10 instances occur in the OSGB36 list [1]

This appears to be a generic term for miscellaneous marks that did not fit one of the other categories, with descriptions including "Brass centre mark", "Brass ferrule","Pipe Nail" and "Arrow scratch on roof". "Brass centre mark" is perhaps synonymous with "roof bolt".

3 of these marks have been recorded as destroyed.
