Platform exposed a few inches. From north, more of a climb than I'd expected before breakfast.

On the top edge on a grazing field. Pillar in good order although leaning back ever so slightly. Earlier repairs to pillar still holding good. Base has been extended to combat erosion caused by livestock, possibly the cause of the lean. Left and right sighting holes open, others plugged. Spider retains original OS centre plug with deep stamped lettering. Flush bracket faces northwest across grazing field. Arable land behind fence. Views to Smailholm, Dirrington Great Law, Sweethope Hill, Cheviot, Hownam Law, Peniel Heugh, Eildon Mid Hill, The Holmes. Revisited and photographed 7/08/2004, GRP.

The pillar was completed on 25th January 1954 costing £24.19s.0d. In 1957 this marker was computed as a tertiary triangulation station in Secondary Block NT72. The flush bracket was levelled for height in 1958. This site was last maintained by the OS in August 1986. Original visit by GRP to record the FB number, 19/05/1990 .
