Pulled over on north side of crossroads where there were roadworks at the time. Along private driveway to north east. After about one hundred and fifty metres spotted pillar on north side of driveway on the other side of the ridge along the line of trees. Covered in moss, except for spider and cap. Removed small build up of soil and twigs from low plinth. Views of field to north.

As per previous log - Parked at comms compound by lane signed as leading to Broadley Castle Farm (Coxwall Farm on my 1:25k map). Pillar sits on a plinth between raised field boundary and stock fencing to N side of lane, beneath overhanging trees. Overhanging trees very wet and we got soaked getting to trig and back, a very misty morn! With Coineanach Hutch. #20 pillar of the trip.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there. Somewhat moss covered but seems to be still in good condition.

Easily spotted from the track leading past the mast, but a barbed wire fence needs to negotiated to view the flush bracket side.
