Short detour from the PRoW. Landowner has erected a new double fenceline, with a hedge in between, so the trig will be hidden from the PRoW in due time.

Parked opposite gates to barn/field containing trig, accessed via PROW to south through kissing gate, over two stiles, into field with trig via unlocked gate to south, all surrounding fences covered in wet creosote (lovely smell). Plastic cows still in neighbouring field.

Parked at church to N to bag the benchmark, walked down to barn, no sign of CCTV so hopped over field gate into pasture, short walk to pillar located tight up against wire/wood fencing. Top cap missing, asphalt plug replacement; all sight holes open (rear can just be determined by touch). Distant views to N only.

Went up the foot path to avoid the CCTV at the gate others had said about. And then hopped over the fence to get to the Trig. Took pictures of the fake cows on the way back to the bike.

On N-side hedge. Layby parking and gate opposite trig on Dobson Lane @ 753865

As others have said, the trig is behind the barn, on the N side of the fence. We parked opposite the gate to the barn (point 'A' on attached satellite image) and had planned to just hop over the gate to get to the trig, but we noticed a CCTV camera pointing directly at the gate. So we walked SSW to the start of the public footpath (point 'B') and walked along the public footpath to point 'C', then back along the fenceline to the trig. Trig was in good condition, FB faces away from the fence (how convenient!), front, left & right sightholes open, couldn't check rear sighthole as it backs onto the fence, tarmac plug. I left a 2p coin in the front sighthole for the next visitor to find. Walked back to the car the same way. The corner of the field (circled) had a fake cow & calf(!) Interesting to also visit the nearby St Mary The Virgin church with its 2 mausoleums. Portaloo in churchyard, which is always welcome while trig hunting!

It is on the other side of the hedge but easily accessible if you keep following the footpath, cross into next field and then double back to the trig. One timber fence with gate to negotiate. The undergrowth has been cut back and the trig stands on its own next to the hedge. The buildings near the trig are some kind of farm store and not permanaently occupied. FB faces north, tarmac plug. Fawley church is worth a visit as it has two impressive mausoleums in the churchyard, one to the Mackenzie family and one to the Freeman family.

As others have said, the trig is on the wrong side of the hedge from the near-by footpath. At this time of year, the hedge is as thin as it going to get, so it could be worse!

A little off the footpath, but not exactly trespassy. Well and truly covered in the surrounding bush, but seems to be intact. Views across to the south west, but nothing spectacular.

Plug missing and concreted up. Was this done by the OS? All the concrete I've seem looks remarkably similar in consistency and accuracy of application...
