An OS cutmark on the wall of the Birmingham City (Witton) Cemetery; it's marked on the map of 1884, so fair to assume it was cut as part of the first Primary Levelling survey of England and Wales between 1840 & 1860. The height is given on the older maps as variously 374.3 feet, 374.7 feet and 374.8 feet above Liverpool Datum. There is another, very similar mark 440 yards north of here at Image
