Trig point and lone tree
Close to home.
A triangulation station, also known as a trigonometrical point, and sometimes informally as a trig, is a fixed surveying station, used in geodetic surveying and other surveying projects in its vicinity. Thanks Wikipedia, I needed to know.
This one has the advantage of being perched on an Iron Age Hill Fort with a lone tree nearby. The hill fort and historic interest is one of many factors that prevented a housing development on this site a few years ago. Just hope it stays that way as this is the view immediately behind my house.
