A projecting bracket is a rare type of bench mark and a predecessor of the more common 'Flush Bracket'. Bench marks were semi-permanent markers installed by the Ordnance Survey as part of the levelling of Great Britain. This bracket is found on the bridge abutment which carries Station Road over the former West Meon Railway Station platform. This bracket was installed in 1912 and levelled with a height of 321.6620 feet above mean sea level.
