Peasenhall bridge over River Yox

According to the OS benchmark database there is a benchmark cut into the eastern parapet and over the centre of the stream. Nothing was found; the bridge is a relatively new build and the mark may have been destroyed.

According to the OS benchmark database there is a benchmark cut into the east facing wall of the school. There was lots of children activity at the school and therefore I didn't make a search. It is unknown if the mark survives.
