New trig found not listed on the database

[trig-man]

I have just found a new Pillar not listed on the database. It is located at SK 52942 61683 in the grounds of Mansfield's 5th Scout Hut. It is an exact replica of a pillar less the metalwork and dedicated to Jack Webster 1921 - 2010 with a compass on the top. How do you add it to the database

Heres another "is it or isn't it a trig?"

Seen on the W side of Gelt Road, Brampton near Carlisle a couple of years ago.
Couldn't get close enough for a proper investigation. Still can't decide what it is!

Certainly looks like one to me. Are there any missing ones in the area I wonder? Perhaps a farmer has 'moved' one for logistical reasons. Certainly worth and expedition to verify any plates / metalwork etc.

Adding is easy, via MyTrig page, click on Log a visit. One thing to watch, having initially added the grid ref, on a later page you have to add it again, otherwise your new trig will appear at SW 00000 00000 off the Scilly Isles.

Whether to add, not so easy. There are lots of non OS trigs around, particularly associated with dams / reservoirs, and the general rule is to only add them to TPUK if there is a clear OS connection.

Having said that, here is a fine exception to the rule http://trigpointing.uk/trig/12707

Is there a photo somewhere? Or you could do what Griefmiester did, add it to TPUK (with photos) and leave it up to the Admin team whether to let it stay.
