This early Ordnance Survey bench mark is cut into the west face of the stone surround where the Calderstones once stood. The historic stones have been moved to a more secure location, but the stone surround still stands in the middle of Calderstones Road opposite the park entrance. The bench mark was first recorded on the 1849 map and although it is currently listed as a rivet, which is set further back, originally it appears to have been a pivot. See also Image
