Totley Circle

Cairn with Cross
Old Trig Point
New Trig Point
Totley Circle

There's a lot going on up on Totley Moor. There's the cairn with a cross on top at 53° 18' 23.18" N, 1° 34' 8.30" W, which, as far as I can make out, stands exactly where the old trig point (1252 ft, 382 m) NOT the new trig point (395 m) used to stand.

I'm interested in the exact position of Totley Circle of course. stu and stubob, whom I presume to be one and the same person, suggest that it is approx. 100 m east-south-east. That would place it at the western tip of the heather-free wedge that can be clearly seen in Google Earth.

The heather-free circle between the cairn and the wedge would seem a more likely sight to me.

Would stu or stubob please reply?

Yours interestedly
