A Noon Mark made by the National Forest Company. It is located close to the car park at the entrance to Sence Valley Forest Park. It is NW of Ibstoke village, and off the A448 Ravenstone road.
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 5 of a set of six similar devices erected by the National Forest Company in Leics, Derbys and Staffs (SRNs 7698 - 7702, and 7272).
