This mark was our third and final find of the day. My father again assisted in the search, and we quickly spotted the mark set in the stone foundation at the southwest corner of the church. It is concealed by shrubbery and is set behind a flower bed, making it difficult to get a close-up photo. The disk is in good condition, and no changes to the original description are necessary.
A report on the condition of this mark was submitted to NGS, along with the following recovery note:
Recovered in good condition. Autonomous (non-corrected) handheld GPS coordinates for the station are 41 37 4.50(N) 074 18 58.02(W).
