I was at my daughter's newly purchased 1990's house on a small estate. My job was to get the lid off the water meter. I decided that it wasn't the water meter after all, but couldn't say what it was.
The lid appears to be cast aluminium, oval, about 6" long and secured by two screws.I was unable to undo one of the screws. It is in the lawn at the back of the property.
There is an inscription barely readable: something POINT.
What is it?
Thanks

In all probability, a rodding point. (Or inspection point, depending on the manufacturer).
=============== It might possibly be a 'trig point'. These are fixed survey points but the few I've seen were above ground level on concrete blocks.

It sounds as it if may be a rodding access point for the drains. Regards Pete
Nah! It's a rodding point for clearing a section of drain which would otherwise be inaccessible.
Thanks guys. I will now go and identify the mystery object and take full credit as 'the expert' :-)

Pleasure - it is nice to get a simple question for a change !
