NC957276, LR17. HISTORY Pillar completed 5th May 1952 costing £39.4s.0d. Computed as secondary triangulation station ND25/10 within the Wick secondary block, and levelled to second class precision during 1952. This pillar station was last maintained by the Ordnance Survey in June 1985. SITE VISIT Overall approach from WSW. Parked by east side of A897 just south of track at NC901236. Followed mapped footpath (now an estate track) to NC927268, then turned east on a beeline route to the summit. The cairn is about 20m to the east of the trig pillar.
