The disk is in good condition, firmly mounted however, the lack of drainage maintenance (clearing) has created a micro ecosystem of plant growth from the accumulated sediments in the run off. Discover of this marker will require probing and clearing of the top debris or a metal detector.
The witness post is no longer present.
The orange pain markings referred to in 2003 are now non-existent.
