This
borderstone replaced or joined a cross which has disappeared. I
didn't look for that cross but Charles & Josette
informed me in january 2011 that they couldn't find a cross.

But in 2013 Jacques Koleck wrote that he had found in 2008 the original
bordercross in the vicinity of this borderstone. By the way: on this
picture we are looking west: to the Col de Belhay where bm250 is
located.
Together with a picture of Javier Sancho (sent by Charles Darrieu) -
dating from 2012 - one can establish the approximate location of
bordercross bm251.
|
This is an overview, as seen from Port de Belhay. Having watched this overview, Jacques Koleck added this information: “I
think the cross is in the lower part of the circle, above the “old
trail” and 20 meters of a large rock well visible on my photo with the
Port de Belhay in the background. The cross “looks” east and is
probably on a straight line between the stone marker 251 and the cross
252.” The 252-cross is just behind the lower end of the ridge, directly behind the circle.

So the existence of bm251-cross was already known by Jesús Murueta around 2001.

This picture shows bm255
before it disappeared. We can see its sturdy masonry base and it's
astonishing that no trace whatsoever is left of base and pillar.

Charles
& Josette Darrieu supplied in january 2011 the information that
this bordermarker has disappeared in september 2007.
That same information is to be found in "Travesía de los mugarris / Ińaki Vigor & Carlos Sanz".
