Is it a cone shaped thing at the top?

Some sort of survey marker pole? It doesn't look official so perhaps something the previous owner set up.

A survey marker can be a simple as something attached to a building or tree, or a pole in the ground. Just because it's not an official OS marker doesn't mean it isn't a survey marker someone has put in for their own purposes.

Hi! I'm a chartered Land Surveyor and in 20 years, I've never come across anything like this. Would be interested to find out the purpose of the scaffold round a marker? Ta.

As a surveyor, I can tell you - it's not a survey marker

Maybe that plate thing at the top used to have a camera or motion detector clipped to it? Odd location, though.

Either way, it looks home made from bits of scaffolding pole, solely to get that plate thing up there. I feel a closer look at that plate thing might solve it.
