Cut Bench Mark on Brightling Needle Folly in Sussex - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

This Bench Mark is on the North East corner of the Folly.

Also known as the Brightling Needle, this obelisk stands atop a hill, variously known as Brightling Down and Brightling Beacon, that is 646 feet (187 m) above sea level, making it the second highest point in East Sussex.
The obelisk itself is 65 feet (20 m) high. The reason for its existence is open to conjecture. Some sources claim that it was erected to commemorate Nelson's victory at Trafalgar in 1805. Still others purport that it stands in celebration of Wellington's victory over Napoleon in 1815. It seems odd, however, that there is no inscription on the monument, another mystery left by Jack Fuller.
