Is this a trigpoint?

Hello,
I have a 1920s Ordnance Survey one inch map of Chichester and Worthing.
On it there is a little trigpoint symbol on Sathill Road (north of Fishbourne) next to ‘South Oak’.
Here’s the link:

On a slightly later map (still before trig points) it says ‘trigonometrical point’.
Could these be the forerunners of trig points?
:o
Thanks. A reply would be appreciated.

Almost certainly a trig station from the original 19th C triangulation.
