A fairly uncommon example of a flush bracket, embedded in the wall of a farm building. The bracket is part of the Second Geodetic Levelling of England and Wales, dating from late 1912. It gives the height of the mark as 80.17m (263ft) above Newlyn sea level, and was last officially surveyed in 1957.
