Ordnance Survey documents describe a benchmark levelled at 96.786 feet above Liverpool Datum on the left hand corner (left hand face) of the building during the 1843/4 Kendal to Carlisle 1GL Survey. The surveyor's description was 'No. 356. Bolt in North-west corner of Mr. Fenwick's cow-house ; 2.98 ft. above surface'. It was subsequently levelled at 29.575m above Newlyn Datum in 1955 (verified 1969) with location described as NW angle north face of building at Low Whinnow Farm. The mark could not be seen. However, the mark was subsequently found on the wall which can be seen in the left foreground of this image. See Image
