About three miles north of Nettlebed then north west along narrow road. Pulled over at track entrance to field on south west side of road about 100 metres before property on opposite side of road. Started looking along hedge line on north side of road, pillar beside and over a gate on that side. Covered in prickly brambles. Not my best gardening effort but cleared away by a bit of pushing back. FB number buried but soil loose and not too much trouble to dig it out, but didn’t have any tools so just used my feet and hands. Luckily it is on the north east face, not north west face which would have been even more awkward. Spider and cap in place. No views from pillar although about two hundred metres to north west road drops steeply away and there’s a good view across the country, although a bit drizzly and cloudy at the time. Revisit 2/3/24 in the area, hadn’t marked off on the map I had with me. Recognised it as I pulled over on the roadside.

Roadside and bush bag. As others have mentioned, it's covered in brambles and I didn't fancy clearing them to get the flush bracket number.

Easy to access and easy to park. Even in December, though, this pillar is covered in brambles, and they'll defend their trig vigorously against those who would attempt to photograph its flush bracket! Otherwise, pillar seems to be in good nick. Unremarkable view.

Unfortunately there was some horse event on as I was trying to bag pillar. Checkpoint nearby and horses walking through gate beside pillar. Awkward having to explain to passing riders why I was crouching in the bushes trying to photograph the flush bracket.

Bagged on an 8 mile circular walk from Ewelme as part of my Walk 2,019 Miles challenge. As others have said it is close to the road and besides the gate post, a bit overgrown.

There are three gates. The pillar is just inside the 1st gate on RHS of the road travelling NWards. Flush Bracket is on the NE side of the pillar which is increasingly protected by some pretty vicious brambles. One wonders why the trig is here as there are very limited views.

Number 4 and last TP for today. Britwell Hill was rather hard work climbing up on bike. The TP wasn't really worth the effort. It is hidden just inside a gate in a field with some cows in it. Views are limited. Still, the best bit is its all down hill to Wallingford and lunch, now. Weeee....

Parked at the wrong gate! Walked to the correct gate. Trig just to the left of the gate. Very overgrown, I cleared the area. Evidence of previous gardening seen. Trig in good condition, FB faces away from the road, original metal cap, all 4 sightholes now below ground level. I buried a 2p coin in the ground immediately below the FB for the next visitor to find.

a very unremarkable trig. Gave it a good haircut and dug some bramble and nettle roots out from by the flush bracket so it may be slightly easier for summer visitors.

Slight diversion for this one from the Ridgeway inevitably across 'private property' but is that going to stop me? Whilst 'trespassing' I enjoyed the sight of a roe deer, two frolicking hares, and the increasingly common but majestic red kite. Nicely preserved pillar, cap intact, & fine views to the north. Back to the Ridgeway....

I had some fun getting to this one. Having left Huntingland I failed to properly check the route my TomTom had set and faithfully followed it. Initially no issue but then just before the R-L at Cookly green to gain the B road it sent me directly left on an unsurfaced track via Coates farm. Passable but technically only a footpath :-) after that the trig (amble parking next to it) was an anticlimax

As others have said, just in the field, beside the gate. Easy access - no need to even open a gate! The farmer looks to have replaced the gate, very new wooden gate there when I visited. Flush bracket faces north into the field, a bit of excavation necessary to get at it and read the number.
