Parked at north end of Cockshutt village walked lane out to main road and then across field on footpath to Crosemere Farm passing between building to bridleway. Trig point has been moved from the adjacent field to beside the bridle path. The footpaths are well signposted from the road.

The footpath from the road junction to the east isnt marked, but it goes between the farm outbuildings. Easy access for short walk up a footpath that doesnt actually go anywhere! Trig has been carefully moved into the hedgeline. Reasonable views.

All intact on south side of lane. Its original location in within a field of head high maize. BSM-type. Based on Aye Jimmy’s log this was probably moved in 2017.

This may have been moved, or the fence line moved.

Cockshutt Head high crop, but possible to crawl along tramlines towards supposed trig site without damage.
Cockshutt Not a lot of trigs were found.
Cockshutt Less than half a metre away according to this 'geographical point' stored in GPS device. It's only 4m away from the official T.UK figure and only 2-4m from figures given by other users. Looking around at ground level between the stalks I could see 3-4m, but no trigs or plinths were seen...

Parked on minor road E of the path to the pillar. Followed path to farmyard and met a very frosty reception. Woman in farmyard told me that most people respected their privacy and used the right-of-way which leads SW away from the farm. I insisted that I wanted to follow the ROW past the trig. Was the told that the pillar was inaccessible as it was in a field of crops and anyhow, the right of way was a dead-end and went nowhere. I again insisted that I wanted to follow the path and was reluctantly let through the gate to the farmyard. Once I got to the vicinity of the pillar I couldn't see any crops so went straight to it.

drove up into yard of crosemere farm, a barking dog from the farmhouse opposite brought out the owner who was happy to allow me to park up and take the track on up the hill to the west ... once you hop the gate the pillar can be see on the crest of the hill to the right ... owner was in the yard when I returned and we had a bit of a chat ... he and an old friend who had returned after some years living in south africa took the bench up to the pillar and regularly sit up there with a few beers watching the sunset and reminiscing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIMayTfjrRU

Easy access by farm track and bridleway from the A528. Trig point 50m into field of recently tilled ground. Good crisp views to NE under clearing skies.

There is now a bench positioned next to the trig. A faint path leads from the right of way through the winter crop to the pillar. Borderline slightly damaged condition, with several hairline cracks on the FB face side as well as a knock having been taken to the edge too. Very good all round views for such a modest elevation.

Parked on side road north of Cockshut... through a field of large frisky calves, didnt find the path round the back of the farm, so along a field margin to the track up the hill. Field has been sown so took photo from a few metres away on the path. Large hare lolloped away from us along track. Returned through the farm as no signs to indicate where the footpath should be.

Still pelting down so this was a wet and muddy log! Another of those pillars with the 'raised S'. Original plug with slightly-indented letters. On a 'tump'in a grassy field with no animals but bridleway access extremely muddy. Also, awkward to park the car by the main road. Concrete base visible all round. Moderate agricultural views but murky today. Time for a pint in the 'Leaking Tap' I think!!
