Cut Bench Mark on Sugarloaf Folly, Sussex - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

The Bench Mark can be reached via the footpath from the B2096 at Woods Corner.
You will pass the Dallington Trig Pillar to get here.
This bench Mark is located on the left hand side of the entrance.

Also known as Fuller's point, this folly stands 35 feet (10.7 m ) tall in a meadow just off the Battle-Heathfield road.
Legend has it that Fuller made a bet that he could see the spire of St Giles, Dallington from his house. Upon realizing that this was not true he had workmen erect this folly in order to win the bet.
It is thought to have been built in the early 1820s and gets its name from the conical loaf form that sugar was sold in at that time.
Believe it or not, it was actually used as a two storey dwelling up until the 1930s. Considering that it is only 15 feet (4.57 m) in diameter it's hard to imagine.
The stone building had two storeys, with windows on each floor. There was a ladder between the two floors and there was also a lean-to kitchen."
