Unlike his other work which was primarily wooden and figurative this was a large eye made out of dry stone wall. It was positioned above Bogle Crag car park. The position was very close to Turnell’s other work Beech Watch, which apparently went the same year this was created. It was last listed on 1993 sculpture map.
