Easy find outside the gates to Riber Hall. Is the first one I have seen with a fence round it but it is now very overgrown. FBM in very good condition.

No need to search for this one!! The green railings give it away.

No problem finding this one, although I had to move some road-signs which were leaning against the green rails before I could take a picture.

Even easier when no excavation is required - and so civilised being in the middle of the road for all to see!

Conrete block is nocely fenced off in a small green at the road junction. Although the block has what could be a fluch bracket - this has no number on it. There is a metal plaque on the top which gives the height above sea level 797.28 feet in this case.
