Benchmark by the south gate
This pivot mark is cut into the wall on the left side of the Image For more information on this and other marks see http://www.bench-marks.org.uk/bm36043 .
A pivot mark differs from a normal cut mark type of bench mark in that it does not have the horizontal bar above the arrow, instead a small hollow is carved out of the flat surface of the stone. A 5/8" (16mm) diameter ball bearing, or pivot, would be placed in the hole and the levelling staff placed on top. They would normally be made where the stone was too soft or brittle to accept a rivet without breaking.
