The stone wall is alongside the pavement on the western side of Stirling Road. The same wall appears on the left in a picture of Image; from the point where that picture was taken, the bench mark is about 100 metres further along the wall. In the present picture, the wooden fence separates an area of housing (Strathleven Estate) from the meadow on the left, just as indicated on the map (the view direction for the picture was chosen to make this correspondence with the map easier to see). A rivet can be seen on the top of the wall, with an arrow-like cut mark pointing at it. According to the Ordnance Survey's own records, this third-order rivet bench mark is 36.023 metres above Newlyn Datum. The following description, written by another contributor, explains the terminology.
