NM638097, LR55. HISTORY Pillar completed 3rd June 1959 costing £9.10s.1½. Computed as secondary triangulation pillar NM52/40 within the Mull secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1960. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in July 1980. SITE VISIT Approached from the south. The boat was moored by rocks at NR637093.
