Ashamedly, I've passed the woods where it is a few times since I started this.
The other one in the line is 10 miles to the west so I'll get to that once the undergrowth dies back...

Caernarfon wall plate

Caernarfon castle walls

And one on the town gate buttress

 

[Tim Hall]

How tall?

Hmm, about a foot or so sticking out of the ground, but I get the impression the ground there is fairly mobile, what with shingle shifting around in a big storm. Another one was part of the sea wall:

Gun mount?

Today, on the long way home through the lanes, I used my Awesome Superpower to glance left and see this one:

Oddly, it's carved into a post box (although I didn't think to see which monarch). It's not on the bench-marks.org.uk database, but I think it's one of these two on the OS database:
TQ 3275 4738 CUT MARK C N FACE CUL W SIDE OUTWOOD LANE 240.0M N BROWNSHILL COTT 67.510 3 'N' 1971 - -0.300

TQ 3287 4718 CUT MARK BROWNSHILL COTTS OUTWOOD LANE SW FACE 2.6M S ANG 69.906 3 'N' 1971 - 0.500
There's a rivet round there too, so I shall do some more looking. I've got a treasure hunt to organise too, so will try and get my victims to go looking for benchmarks on that.

Gun mount?

Unlikely. The wall it's on is post war and there's nothing in the way of serious recoil resisting hardware.

First one:
"Bolt" going through the wall as a means of remedial work, wall found to be insufficent to stand on it's own.

Quite common round here on some of the older buildings. The more ornate ones facing the public.
