SITE VISIT

No GOMLs on the day, (full story on T:UK) so the surrounding undergrowth was cleared in order to obtain some reasonable photos. Couldn't even get GPS on top beforehand. Pillar still in very good condition. Spider has OS plug with stamped font. FB faces east into fence, compass measurement 80°. Vented through back sighting hole. View to Bandirran Hill and Kings Seat.

 

Photographed: 1st October 2005, GRP.
