Parked in the church car park to SE. footpath through churchyard heading west along south side of little trig hill field, with couple of horses in it. Helpful gent, pruning some bramble in his small patch of ground between footpath and fields beyond at what looked like the only way access point so I asked permission if I could cross the few metres to access the pillar, which he granted.

Nice location on the edge of a village, located in a field containing horses, between a residential mobile home park and quite a pretty church, not far off a public footpath.

Chained my bike up at All Saints' Church gate and made my way through the graveyard as per SotonNick80's directions below. At the end of the graveyard path you'll see the pillar on a small hill off to your right. Then it's over a just-low-enough barbed wire fence and under two electric fences to get into a horses' field. Decent views over The Solent to Southampton.

Parked at the church and followed the path through the graveyard. You can see the trig up to the right from here. As you come to a house, there is a fence on the right low enough to climb over. You are able to walk up the hill from here to the trig where there are views to the east of Southampton across the water. On my visit, there were some friendly horses in the field.

Second attempt at this, and easy to get to following Trigger monster's directions below. No horses this time and only a low fence to hop over. A particularly low lying trig at 31m, but when you get to it, the view over Southampton justifies it's existence.

Parked by lytch gate entrance to churchyard. Followed footpath signposted west. Pillar visible on top of small hill to the north west. Footpath runs between a house and the field where pillar is. At the time just long grass. Climbed through fence and went directly uphill. Fairly good views towards Southampton. Top of stadium (St Mary’s?) visible. Overlooked by nearby house.

Parked at the Church and followed footpath, it still exists, just walk left side of the tall hedge and at the end there is a gap that leads to the right of the last house. Halfway along the house there is a easy fence to climb over that leads to the Pillar.

Parking at the church car park, then along the footpath for what looked a simple stroll to the pillar, not so! The footpath from the car park from the E, seems to peter out, so I walked out to the road and found the other end of the footpath, this takes you up to base of the hill where you can hop over (or under) the two fences. Pillar good condition views to the port of Southampton. I then tried to get back to church from the other end, the footpath is terminated, with a large metal fence, looks to me as if houses are going to built here, will the pillar survive?

Got access via footpath that starts at the All Saints Church. That currently is boarded up because of work being done to it. I dont think anyone uses the FP much as its very over grown. Trig is first one today with good views all round.

Parked in the church car park and followed the right of way to the field with the trig point in. RoW is becoming overgrown with brambles, and the stile is falling down - doesn't matter, the fence is steppable-over! Easy walk up the hill to the TP, misty views over Southampton Water.

Easy to locate, but is located on private land so minor trespass required. At the top of a small hill that provides some nice views across the Solent. Visited after a day on the Solent Way.

Parked on the side of the road just before the bend and climbed over a very dodgy stile into a bog full of stinking water. The trig is at the top of the hill, and as we got there, the Aurora was sailing down Southampton Water, so managed to snap her in the background. Tarmac plug.

It's good to get a trig before anyone else! What a trainspotter. Nothing remarkable - views over what will (I assume) become a lovely container port - (importing stuff for us to fill our landfill sites with) to Southampton. Pleasant church adjacent. Slight tresspass (unfenced) from nearby footpath. Lots of molehills.
