Not quite as clear in the light as Image taken a couple of years ago, but undoubtedly the same benchmark. It was last levelled in 1972 at 231.055m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn, although there is a mark shown at this point on much older maps at 758.4 feet above Liverpool datum, which suggests it was probably cut as part of the first Primary Levelling work in the late 19th century.
