    Elevated at 699 feet above sea level, the trig point, also known as a triangulation pillar, marks the highest point on the moorland. These pillars, introduced by the Ordnance Survey in 1936, serve as sturdy platforms for surveyors' theodolites, which were used to create accurate maps during the retriangulation Of Great Britain. They can be found scattered throughout the British countryside, offering important reference points for hikers and adventurers exploring the picturesque landscapes. This particular one was installed on 01/06/1947.
