  1. Does anyone have any idea of the conventions that Mapsource Topo GB uses
    for describing trig points on the map?

    e.g. The trig point at Botton Head (Urra Moor, North Yorks Moors) at
    NZ 594 016 is labelled as:-

    Botton Head S2988 Pri Pil T Courtney, #797

    I assume that the S2988 is a serial number of some sort (It's also
    inscribed on the plate on the trig point).

    'Pri Pil' maybe Primary Pillar(?), but who is T Courtney, and what does
    the #797 refer to?

    Garnedd Ugain on Crib-y-ddysgl has:-
    Garnedd Ugain Pil Pub Bkt Rem K Stevens 06 04, #2628

    and Ben Nevis:-
    Ben Nevis Pil Pub S1595 G Jones 4 03, #537

    Any ideas?

    I assume they're the same as from the OS trig point lists:
    http://www.haroldstreet.org.uk/trigpoints.php

    - Pub = Public Access (Not Guaranteed)
    - Pri = On Private Land - Permission Reqd
    - Pil = Pillar Is Intact
    - Stu = Only Stump / Base Remains
    - Rem = No Sign Of Pillar
    - Unk = State Of Pillar Unknown
    - Source Of Access Etc Data
    - Pass = Os Passive Stns
    - Int = Internet Trawl
    - Nm = Not On Current 50K Map
    - Mh = Height Is From Map
    - Mc = Coordinates Are From Map
