The trig point at Coal Aston is unusual in being half buried! Clearly, when installed by the OS it must have been set at ground level but subsequent work has seen earth piled around the pillar. The trig stands at the edge on an enclosure and as can be seen the ground extends for some distance still within that enclosure. Information from elsewhere is that the land is part of the garden or at least the property of an adjacent bungalow.
