A close-up of Image showing the finial on which is given the location and six-figure grid reference. This is a replica of the old-fashioned Dorset signpost which survives in reasonable numbers; the legend would be embossed on a genuine one, like the word DORSET here, and the modern-day typeface (Trebuchet) and the hyphen are other telltale signs.
