The Sea Level Stone

Acknowledgement: NGR and information kindly supplied by Christopher Taylor with Fiona Rothwell: “The inscription reads: H H T / 1862 / The / Sea Level / Of This / Place is / 682 Feet (HHT refers to Henry Hele Treby, who lived at Goodamoor House.)

The stone had to be moved due to ongoing mining operations. Thanks to Mark Fenlon, the stone was repositioned (close to the Hemerdon Mine excavations where it would be safe) and there is a fabulous cut benchmark at the bottom. A public bridleway runs right up to this and provides an enjoyable route.
