This location was worked out from the map provided on the form for NHER 13792, the grid reference being entirely different. Structure not found, but located on second visit; it is set so low in the ground that cars had been parked above it in July. Presumably it was once in a pit. Condition remains as for original entry.

Works to expose the spigot prior to moving it from line of new road revealed that it is cast in one with a concrete slab 8.2m (9 feet) square. This is most unusual.
