(18/05/1960) The pedestal at SX7206 7310 is formed by a series of chamfered slabs around the top and some around the base of the structure. They are unmortared and the whole has evidently been re-erected. A tablet set in north-west side records the planting of a tree in the centre of the pedestal in 1935. Ground photograph: see AO/53/53/2.
