Along the A495 north of Llynclys Hill
One of the main roads into (or out of) Mid Wales. This particular route winds its way through some rather lovely countryside between Llynclys crossroads and Llanfair Caereinion. The concrete block in the bottom of the hedge, lower left, is the Oswestry Fundamental Benchmark, one of 190 high-accuracy height markers across the country, of which this one is levelled at 352 feet and 10 inches above Newlyn Datum.

Oswestry FBM
This rectangular block comprises the visible part of the Oswestry Fundamental Benchmark. In effect, it is the protective cap to a chamber excavated below ground level, containing a bolt affixed to a piece of 'immovable' bedrock, and it is that bolt to which the stated height of 352.831 feet (107.5429m) above sea level actually refers.
