An OS cutmark on a gatepost just north of the crossroads. The OS website http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/benchmarks/ describes this one as being 18.8m west of the junction, and on a south-easterly face of the gatepost, at a height of 62.393m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn, so it would seem that the gatepost has been relocated some time since the early 1960s. This theory is supported by the appearance of the wall, recently rebuilt (or at least, repointed.)
