## Questions, answered briefly

**What is Untitled [Test Structure]?**

A sculpture in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in [Ilam](https://www.chch.live/ilam). The map credits Hall and MacKenzie. Dated 1970.

**Where does Untitled [Test Structure] stand?**

In Ilam, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps 1 place within 300m of it.

**Is the pin on the map exact?**

It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, a surveyed-looking point, but a volunteer map’s one. Nearby ground and register places are neighbours, not the same record.

The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). Maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
