There used to be a small roadside building at this location which bore an Ordnance Survey benchmark on its North-west face, at the North angle, which replaced the pivot benchmark near the road junction, to the South-west. Benchmark height: 113.9' OD (Liverpool) The mark was included on the Aberaeron to Carmarthen secondary line of the Second Geodetic Levelling of England & Wales in 1927-1928. It was levelled with a height of 114.05' above OD (Newlyn). Abstract A 471: http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11178815 [OS 54/136]. The mark was, in turn, replaced by a rivet on the wall behind the gate-pier, at Delfan, South-west of the junction.
