Rather weathered and in poor order, although the arrow below the benchcut can just about be made out here. This mark makes its first appearance on the map of 1883, where it's shown at a height of 701.5ft above Liverpool datum, and was last levelled by the OS in 1972 at 213.704m above Ordnance Datum Newlyn.
