At last. Another one settled. ACG (coineanach) proudly looked on while I bagged and photographed her find of one month ago. Meantime, I see Luke has also just called here too. Visited 26/09/2006, GRP.

Building seems to have been a church, as the OS description mentions. Not visible from the roadside.

Building now Henderson Hall. Didn't have GPS handy but GridRef may still be slightly out. Photographed 25/08/2006, ACG.

Convinced this is buried by earth somewhere along boundary wall SE of B&B. GPS signals being distorted by trees. Needs a check with largest scale metric OS map (NO4521NW 1:2500) to see where BM really should be.

If it was on the house then its probably gone to an extension - if it was on the wall at front of property then it may be buried.

Older log from site visit, ACG. FB not found. GRP comments "could this FB have been on a boundary wall rather than a building? Have checked large scale maps, site appears to be approx 30m S.E. of 'Hillpark' where no building ever seems to have stood".

Grid ref points to a single house (B&B). Owners denied any knowledge of an fb on the house and I saw no sign at the NW corner.
