The concrete trig pillars dotted across Britain's hills were built from the 1930s by the Ordnance Survey to triangulate the country's first truly accurate maps, each one positioned with a clear line of sight to its neighbours. Most have been obsolete since GPS surveying took over, but they remain a near-universal marker of a summit reached.
