>I have surveyed about 300 benchmarks (crowsfeet) in Ireland which are on old Ordnance survey maps, but i only add those where I can confirm the location, of course. These benchmarks were chiselled into existing structures, mostly walls and bridges, but sometimes milestones or just large stones in a field (very few of those left). However, some have clearly been moved which is recognisable by the stone having been rotated by 90 or 180° or being on the wrong side of a wall or gatepost in comparison to the old maps. I would therefore propose a survey_point:structure=moved rather than survey_point:structure=none to indicate that the survey point is no longer in its original position. I usually left a note or used moved=yes already. I haven't always checked against older maps, though, in cases where I didn't go looking for them and just found them.
