Drove right up to it from the South, past a load of turkeys. It’s right by the track.

Parked on the road to the north of the pillar. Very nice lady at Crabbe Castle Farm gave me permission to visit the pillar, which can be found on a track to the south of the farm. 3 of 8 today in and around Burnham Overy, Norfolk

No one about to ask at Crabbs Farm. Walked track from road near works, east then north to trig point. Lots of partridges and spooked up a hare.

Drove to this one, on wide grass verge E side hedgerow. Pillar has an asphalt plug that's degrading and there is some chipping to one of the top edges. The RHD side sight hole is open. Extensive views E. This one should possibly be named Crabbe Castle, as that's what the farm's called, or possibly Crabbes Castle - but not Crabbs Castle. OS fumbling the name again?

Tried knocking on the farm door but no answer, so approached from the track to the south east. No one around so we drove the car right up to it. Weather awful so didn't hang around long!

Walked along the track from the SW of the pillar, passed some very large derelict farm buildings. A tractor driver from the farm nearby watched my progress with mild interest and a farewell wave of the hand! On side of the track, with an ashphalt plug replacement, which itself now has a large hole in it. Chunks of concrete missing from top edges of E/W faces. Traces of paint. N sighthole open. Good E views over agricultural Norfolk.

On west side of farm track opposite decrepit farm buildimgs. We approached from the south west which seemed lees obtrusive. Very large poultry houses nearby - like something out of Chickenrun. Tarmac plug pushed through.
