Description
NRHE data transfer:
This spigot mortar pedestal, about which the recorder was informed by a local resident, apparently still exists. However, it could not be located owing to the dense vegetation.
It is south of the railway bridge, on the road that leads past Stanstead Hall. The position is not certain; it could be on either side of the road. <1>
Spigot mortar base adjacent to Church Road. <2>
