Detail of the Ordnance Survey cut benchmark on the corner of a barn at Hermons Hill. The benchmark appears to have been filled and this was possibly done to indicate cancellation when it was superseded by flush bracket benchmark G3100, below this benchmark on the same wall (photograph Image). The 1899 edition Ordnance Survey map shows this benchmark marking a height of 157.9ft above mean sea level, Ordnance Datum Newlyn. Location photograph Image
