    The memorial is a 'bit' misleading by way of location, as it was moved by the National Trust some years ago. It used to be a good few hundred metres further over the hill. The erosion to the memorial by visitors was quite extensive, so they moved the plinth next to the path to ease the erosion problem.

      This somber spot is where Tommy Jones body was found back in 1900. He was found 29 days after he went missing, 1300 ft away from where he went missing; up a steep climb. The obelisk marks this spot and remembers this tragic story.
