The trig point of Tuthill Quarry is as the name implies close to a quarry, now disused and desolate; the impression of desolation is emphasied by the damage to the pillar and on this visit dreary weather. Unusually the trig point is well away from the local high point - higher ground can be seen in the distance, through the mist. The pillar's poor condition is down not just to deterioration but to vandalism - both the flush bracket and the 'tribrach' from the top have been plundered.
