Description:M62 Triangulation Monument near Stott Hall Farm.

From the Motorway Archive; 'Because of the scarcity of...reference points for the original survey a comprehensive system of monuments had been positioned over the whole site by three dimensional co-ordinates to an accuracy of less than one inch. These monuments...were used as bases from which to set out accurately the construction of the motorway.' They look exactly the same as Ordnance Survey trig points. There are two pairs 100 yds East of Stott Hall Farm (on the left). Not that you'd see them.
