Farmer working in yard opposite gate in to field, he was O.K with me going to the trig. Went a little too far along hedge line after crossing second gate, it's very near the gate in hedge.

The Pillar is hidden from roadside access by a hedgerow on the edge of a field. However, the gate was open and the farmer (leaving in his car as I arrived) was happy for me to enter onto the field

Parked on Brockhurst Lane. Walked through an open gate to the south east of High Hall farm. Crossed the field and climbed over a gate. Squeezed through a gap between a hedge to the northwest and a pond, into the field where the pillar is located. The pillar can be found in a hedge. It was almost completely covered by foliage and nettles. Did some gardening a clear a path to it.

re-visit. Seems an unlikely site tucked into the hedgerow, the land on the other side of the road being higher and a more prominent point on this side would be further to the North. Gaining ivy cover.

Can concur with Garth; trig becoming one with the hedge, it took about 5mins to find. (Got in through the first gate, then is through a second gate in hedge). Sadly the time of year and muddy bog didn't make this a very nice find. Although I did encounter the farmer; she seemed really pleasant and had no problem with me going to grab the trig.

At the summit of a cheekyly steep hill adjacent to High Hill Farm. Climbed over gate opposite farm, pillar is in hedge to R and over another gate. Lots of moss around the FB. Views only to NE. Last one of the day - long ride home.

Very well camouflaged in the hedge

Access to the field was very muddy. Pillar is becoming camouflaged in green. Take a walk along the public footpath directly opposite the trig through the farm - intriguing insight into farming practices.

Fortunately the farmer was in the adjacent farmyard so that prevented any clandestine gate climbing. Original plug with slightly indented letters. No paint but alot of white lichen blobs on it and much moss around the base. N sighthole open, the others closed. Holes under hooks infilled. Some views eastwards over farmland.

Typical! The FP is away from the hedge. Can almost touchthe pillar,its right by the hedge, but to read the FP you need to cross into a field before the farm house, and wade through a lot of cattle and their products.
