Turned east off the B3224, missed the turning at fork in road, disturbed a hawk trying to lift its prey from the road. By the time I had turned around and gone back both were gone. Pulled over at a gateway on east side of lane to west of pillar, top of it just visible from the road. About seventy five metres into the grassy field on a plinth in a small fenced area. Spider and cap in place. Chipped top. Good all round views. Relatively low elevation between Quantocks to east and Brendon Hills to west.

A decent viewpoint across to the Quantocks and Exmoor depending on which way you look. On a raised platform.

Easy approach from the road via an open gate. Fence remains around trig. Some damage to top. Decent views of Quantocks and Willet tower.

Pillar is now further into field as boundaries seem to have changed. Another Trig on a plinth, good condition, good views.

Parked at field entrance NW of trig. Across arable field to pillar on overlarge plinth and fenced in, presumably to protect it, but perhaps that was after the substantial damage had been sustained. Top has been badly hit a few times by looks of things. One spider arm damaged and bent, and whole thing covered with thin coating of dried slurry - a sad looking pillar. It does retain it's metal cap though, with indented lettering; front sight hole ope, RHD side and rear plugs degrading. Panoramic views.

On rise in middle of grassy field, easy access via gate. Concrete plinth with wire around, don't know why. Damage to pillar at top of one side, exposing edge of metalwork. Good views

Located in a field of young maze - easily accessed along ruts - good views - Pillar has a big chunk out of the top, and is located in a small pen.

Top chipped, metal cap, shallow letters. Fenced off, in pasture. 20 trigs in a winter's day - not done that for a while - isn't Devon wonderful ! Sheeps eyes at dusk make an amusing photo subject…

This is most easily approached via a gate at the east end of the field. The trig is in a bit of a fenced area but the hedgeline shown on the map no longer exists. Wheat stubble. Plug with indented lettering.

One corner at the top has broken off, revealling the depth of the spider.

Pillar hidden in brambles and nettles and sporting a good growth of ivy on farmland near Coleford Water.
