S9494 - An Cabar
NH257641, LR20. HISTORY Pillar completed 8th July 1957 costing £27.5s.5d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station NH16/T17 within the Wester Ross secondary block during 1958. Flush bracket S9494 was levelled for height to first class precision, tertiary standards in July 1958. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in June 1988. SITE VISIT Overall approach from the southwest. Parked in a large layby on the south side of A832 at NH 23906 61288. A good track leaves the north side of the A832 at NH 24219 61393. This track only appears on some maps. Once over the locked deer gate this track leads up through the woods joining what was a mapped path and continues onto the open deer moor until NH 24196 62510 (~312m height). After the track ends, it is a straight-forward route upwards of around 2km northeast across heather and occasional bogs until the summit is reached. Standard Hotine triangulation column. The pillar trunk has sustained damage below the flush bracket, otherwise is still in reasonable condition. The spider retains its original OS centre cap with deep indented letters. The flush bracket faces northwest, compass measurement 300°. Vented through the front and right sight holes. Full 360° panoramic view from top.
