The coordinates take you to what was the level crossing across the tracks at Awsworth Station on the Great Northern Railway's Extension to Derby opened in 1876 and closed in the Beeching era.
If you stand at the coordinates, you will see the blue brick station house across the 'tracks' and the old wooden gate on the other side of the crossing.
If you stand roughly in the middle of the 'crossing' you can see the path follows the embankment along the left side of the football pitch. This is where the station platforms stood with the trackbed following the line through the hawthorne at the end of the field. The line then crossed a small access track, the Nottingham Canal and was then carried across the Erewash river flood plains on the lightweight wrought iron viaduct. This is still in place and is quite a sight so worth a visit if you have the time.
See our other local OC only virtual cache http://www.opencaching.org.uk/viewcache.php?cacheid=560 at the viaduct.
The Awsworth bypass now intersects the route but paths drop you down, across the road and canal (by the kennels)and you can pick up the trail to Bennerley Viaduct if you used the well worn paths across the SSSI site of the old ironworks.
At the coordinates given, there is no box but a board with the answer to this question:
What are there 7 of on the raised circle?
The answer (including the pluralising 's') is the password to log this cache.
Happy Caching!
