Without the presence of the bolt, this bench mark would be almost invisible, and is clearer in the photograph than to the naked eye. It was a branch level of the London to Doncaster line used during the first primary levelling of England and Wales between 1840 and 1860. http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm28125 See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4191284 and http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4191282 for location.
