This should be attached to the pole at the end, but it's broken. The good news it it was reattached rather than replaced!

S6126 - Dungavel Hill East
NS942305, LR72. HISTORY Pillar completed 12th May 1950 costing £19.3s.9d. Computed as tertiary triangulation station NS83/T16 within the Lanark secondary block, and levelled to second class precision in 1950. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in September 1976. SITE VISIT Parking by cattle grid at NS932305. Pillar was cracked through at bottom of FB level and has now fallen onto its side. Spider retained OS cap with deep indented lettering, since recorded as stolen between May 2012 and May 2013 (Al Carty & Jon Glew respectively). Back sight pipe still plugged, others open and the pillar bolt is seen from above due to the fallen pillar. The pillar body has fallen southwards and landed with the FB on the side facing eastwards. The flush bracket would have faced ENE, compass measurement 112° when the pillar was upright. Open grazing hill with views to Tinto, Mendick Hill, Lamington Hill, Culter Fell, Tewsgill Hill, Green Lowther and Harten Hill. Photographed: 19th Sept' 2007, GRP. FOOTNOTE I wish I had photographed the whole pillar when it was still standing 26/08/1992. Before it was toppled, my FB photograph shows the crack which was to cause the severance of the two parts. Even back then I made note of the fact that this pillar was severely weathered. ═════════════════════════ Map: www.flickr.com/photos/13460108@N06/43496070241/in/album-72157692190778971/ Trig Pillars on OS Landranger 72 ═════════════════════════ Neighbouring Triangulation Pillars www.flickr.com/photos/13460108@N06/8109884701/in/album-72157631821839859/ S8052 - Tinto : 2.45 miles to the north.

The other photos have been geo-tagged as on or around the summit. For less busy mountains, it can be a little hit and miss.
