A rather poor example of the ilk, to be honest I'm not convinced this is the real thing, as the OS would rarely cut the datum line into the mortar of a brick wall. However, it's at the correct grid ref, and matches the description of a mark described in the OS database, so I have recorded it as such. Originally levelled in 1966 at 96.646m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.
