Well, possibly. Placed almost centrally in the upper half of the picture is an inscribed arrow (more easily felt than seen). Though it is not apparent in the image, touch also reveals a deeper indentation at the apex, which probably held a metal bolt or stud. No bench mark is recorded here by the OS, and the marking is (at least, in this lighting) scarcely noticeable. I just happened to think about bench marks as I passed this spot, and looked for (and found) this one. It is low down on the stonework just to the right of the gate that is shown in Image and in the earlier Image I cannot be certain that this one genuinely is an OS bench mark, but it seemed worth recording for future reference.
