A Noon Mark in the woodland picnic area, made by the National Forest Company. It is located at Billa Barra Hill, about 1/2 mile west of Junction 22 on the M1 At Markfield (SE of Coalville).
A vertical slit has been cut in the trunk of the tree, 1250mm high by 35 wide. The trunk is set vertically on a circular concrete base about 1750 dia by 320 high.
This is No 6 of a set of six similar devices erected by the National Forest Company in Leics, Derbys and Staffs (SRNs 7698 - 7702, and 7272).
