Concrete base at SX 54225 67908. Concrete floor/base to the higher (northeast) side of the Princetown Branch track bed on Yennadon Common. It is 5.40m distant from the higher (northeast) edge of the track bed and is aligned WNW-ESE. The full extent of the concrete cannot be determined, but it is at least 4.25m by 2.45m. There is a small 0.15m x 0.2m hollow about 0.75m to the WNW of the southernmost corner. It is not clear whether this concrete floor had anything to do with the Princetown Branch or is a later feature, perhaps even some sort of late 20th century encroachment onto the common.
The concrete is in a poor state, being cracked in places with grass breaking through and turf encroaching on all sides.
