An OS cutmark beside the entrance door to Image, last levelled in 1962 at 131.497m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn. It does appear on the 1937/38 1:2500 map at a height of 431.47 ft above Liverpool datum, which rather suggests it was used in the 1st Geodetic Levelling survey, a supposition that is supported by the style of the cuts.
