10504 - Mainnir Nam Fiadh
NM676353, LR49. HISTORY Pillar completed 1st June 1959 costing £9.2s.3d. Computed as secondary triangulation station NM52/28 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 Walked from the ferry terminal at Craignure. Overall approach from east. The track leaves the A849 at NM726350, passes one comms mast and terminates at another. After this the route is fairly straightforward by line of sight but not a continuously defined a path on the ground over parts. The Vanessa is in good condition. The spider retains its original OS centre cap with raised large narrow letters. The flush bracket faces south, compass measurement 173°. Vented through three sight holes, the right (east) side is plugged, the innards are filled with debris. Long 360° panoramic view from top.
