An OS cutmark, last levelled in 1979 at 102.611m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. It's actually much older than that, as it's shown on the 1881 1:2500 map at 337.3 feet above Liverpool datum, suggesting it was cut as part of the First Primary Levelling survey of England & Wales sometime between 1840-1860.
