Be on yer guard Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Go catch: It's a shame that the area has obviously turned into a lorry driver's toilet and unfortunately I am helpless to prevent them from their actions. I feel it's a great shame to that so many of these historic features aren't being maintained by the authorities.
I would like to add that this area was certainly NOT being used in this way at time of creation.
