the_rudeboy   12 #1 Posted August 28, 2005 Recently went for a stroll around Ulley Country Park and noticed some small concrete pads on the top of the retaining embankment at the western side of the reservoir.  They are around 200mm in size with a round headed coach bolt set into them, painted white and spaced at about every 10 metres.  I know its not very important and my life won't be anymore fullfilled by finding out but its really been bugging me as to what they are for. I wondered if maybe they are some sort of reference points for water level or just indicators marking the locations of piles for the retainig structure.  Can anyone put me out my misery?  PS. I'm not usually this sad but its really niggling me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

the_rudeboy   12 #7 Posted August 28, 2005 Originally posted by davyboy how about survey points  Could be but there's about a dozen of them along a straight line of around 120 metres so not sure what the survey could be all about. Recently repainted by the look of things too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

the_rudeboy   12 #11 Posted August 28, 2005 They're only quite small.....more like markers rather than something for attaching to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Fishpole   10 #12 Posted August 29, 2005 I don't know about these things but 200mm sounds pretty small. Could they be anglers' peg markers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
