Full description
A wind gauge is recorded and named on the 1890 OS 1:2500 map just north of the summit quarry (7900.13) now containing the tennis court. It is shown as a thin rectangular feature orientated east-west with a central pillar (b1). The second edition OS 1:2500 map shows it apparently having lost its east end (b2). A field visit by Ratcliffe in 1993 found a roughly square, slightly tapering, pillar of possibly reused granite blocks, some 4.0m high and 0.6m square. Possibly has cement rendering on one face and there are remains of metal fittings on the upper metre, running down the centres of the faces (h1, p1).
