NX044563, LR82. HISTORY Pillar completed 1st July 1937 costing £9.13s.0d. Computed as primary triangulation station PP360 within Figure 3 of the OSGB36 retriangulation network during 1937. This station was also used for the reconnaissance of secondary blocks NX29 (Girvan) in 1955, and NX56 (Kirkcudbright) during 1958. Levelled to second class precision in 1955. Last maintained by the OS in March 1995. It also has the distinction of being a Laplace station forming one end of a base (survey) line. The other end of this base is at Inshanks Fell to the south. SITE VISIT Pillar in good condition. Spider retains an old metal cap with no lettering. Flush bracket faces ESE, ~117°. Vented through SE & NW sight holes, innards blocked with debris. Long views in all directions but limited to around twenty miles by the hot haze.

This is OS mapping. In some areas, OpenStreetMap shows more footpaths
Spatial NI has online OSNI mapping. Click "Basemap Gallery" (4 squares icon at the top).
Now would be a good time for a cup of tea.

Notes
- Data: Database of British and Irish Hills v18.2
- Maps: We use OS mapping for England, Scotland, Wales, and the Isle of Man. Sadly, Channel Islands, Northern (OSNI) and Southern Ireland (OSI) mapping isn't available online, so we use Openstreetmap.
