Parking in farm entrance, not that easy to find, well not this time of the year, Surface block is located on the bank and lost in the hedge - take the OS sketch with you and mark out the 9.10m from the corner, then get up into base of hedge, all appears to be in good condition.

I noticed this Surface Block in the OS Passive Station Database (ID C1SU6878). The block was clear and straightforward to find with the OS plan - measure off the 9.10m from the corner of the concrete. The block is under the edge of the hedge raised above the road (probably why it was clear). The OS photo also helps. Photographs taken 11/9/06.
