Looking for a word

I'm having a temporary brain-freeze looking for a word for this monument. We were retracing a 1959 survey where the surveyor set 2" capped iron pipes 30" long with his number stamped in them. We found all but one, sticking out of the ground half a foot or so. The search area for the last one was in kind of a pile of trash where the metal detector wasn't doing us much good. It wasn't where it was supposed to be so when we went back to monument our lot, we figured we would have to replace it. I kicked around in the trash and found it, still in excellent shape but lying on the ground. We set our own anyway and laid the old one down alongside it.The question is, how would you describe the condition of that monument. It's beyond "disturbed" and it's not "destroyed". How about just "found lying on ground"? That just doesn't sound technical enough to me.

If you found the pin lying the time for laying it would have passed and you would be lying to say you found it laying. I think.
