The second of these that I have found, and that I have now discovered to be Ordnance Survey benchmarks. To be fair, it was pointed out to my by a friend as I had completely missed it. I wonder just how many of them there are?
A typical benchmark on a stone in Kullsbjörken outside Leksand in Dalarna.

Sarah was taken inside with a horrendously cluttered background, which I could do nothing about, so I thought that I would experiment with changing backgrounds for the first time.
