OS rivet at Crackleybank

A brass OS rivet in the concrete pad in front of a GPO (nowadays BT) box on the SE side of the Crackleybank crossroads. Situated just at the bottom-left corner of my Garmin, it took some finding, as the pad had several inches of vegetation and accumulated muck on top of it. Originally levelled at 113.38m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. OS rivets are a variation on the conventional cutmarks or benchmarks, but served much the same purpose.
