Found two yesterday..
and as per usual not on the Bench Mark website
I'm going round in circles as one (the Branscroft one) matches the OS Locator and description is correct until the road name which is wrong, the road in question is over 1/2 mile away. I must ask a local next time through.
I'll just use OS Locator as ID.

I wonder if there was a criteria for the CBMs?
They all seem to be non-uniform.

The horizontal cut is the mark into which the end of the surveyors plank or bench would go. The other thread hashes were there to designate that it was a government thingy.

Wow-learn something new every day. Usually on this thread. Ours are made so you set up the tripod for the surveying instruments with a plumb bob over dead center.

I was leaning to the different sizes of the mark you come across.
I targetted three today, two now gone.
Bridge of Weir, Advance Place (Torr Rd), building
this one is 300 yds away from yesterday's one and the size of the marks are totally different.
I thought there may have been a standard size but more likely to who wielded the hammer and chisel.

Yep, that's the place.. Flint is the local building material. At least, by tradition, it was.
