ROSELATH TRIG PILLAR
This dark gray Trig Pillar is located on top of a high hedge across a narrow field adjacent to a country lane.
The field is private and sometimes has livestock in it but if the gate at the headline coordinates is open then it is a short 100 metre walk along the hedgeline to the pillar.
The cache is NOT in the field.
The pillar can be seen 30 metres away over the top of the roadside hedge from N 50 23.980 W 004 42.910. May be more difficult to see in the summer when the vegetation is in full growth.
The lane can be busy with agricultural and domestic traffic and so I highly recommend parking in the layby at the parking coordinates and walking the 100 metres or so back to the cache location.
This gives you an opportunity to see why this is a local high point and also to spot Helman Tor which is the next closest OS pillar in line of sight about 3km to the North.

About Ye Ole Survey Monuments

 |
Ye Ole Survey Monument (YOSM) is a captivating series of caches that pays homage to the remarkable legacy of OutForTheHunt's YSM series (GC45CC).
YOSM caches are strategically positioned at or near Trig Points. These triangulation stations have played a pivotal role as surveying landmarks, contributing to the mapping of expansive territories.
Some of these points, bearing historical significance, might now be situated on private land or have vanished with time. As a result, the caches are artfully placed in close proximity, reverently acknowledging the historical importance of these survey monuments.

If anybody would like to expand the Ye Ole Survey Monuments Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.yosm.org.uk
so we can keep track of the numbers and names to avoid duplication.
