Great advice on how to approach on previous posts, otherwise a nice location on the edge of an open field.

From the B3043, went straight up through the woods opposite The Red House. Once near the top you'll go over a trampled barbed wire fence and see a gate to your left. When you get over this gate and into the field you'll see the pillar about 30 metres to your right, along the hedge line.

After junction off A31 heading south, first left after about 500 metres. A few houses on right of lane, uphill to electric gates. From entrance gate to footpath next to electric gates turn immediately right, south west. Into field, pillar on field boundary on far side. In amongst tall nettles but not too dense. FB faces the fence. Cleared off a little moss but pillar growing its own coat from the ground up, so left as seen. View limited to north east across field.

Parking looked a problem at this one but managed to get a space in the lane by post box although cones have been put out deterring parking there. There was parking further north just before junction of A3090. From the Red House go up through the steep bank of the woods, over a couple of fences and the Pillar is at the edge of a copse.

12.50 slight half pull in about 150/200 m to the north on west. Back up hill and if you enter the wood immediately opposite entrance to The Red house you'll be rewarded at top of the bank by a short bit of fence with no barbed wire on top. Through the gate and trig is on your right at northern end of small corpse facing open field but the fb frustratingly facing wood and guarded by nettles.

Parking awkward, room for 1 car in side road by letter box 200m N. Walked back till opp Red House (don't forget to bag the cut benchmark - as I did!), then up through scrubby woodland. Pillar in good condition; cap missing, asphalt plug; 3 sight holes open, front sealed. FB facing into fence/hedgerow, but clear today and enough room to photograph. Picturesque rolling views E to Field House farm; other directions obscured by hedgerows/tree line. Ladwell Hill is a class 0 tump.

Parked near junc of A3090/B3043, walked up the hill, then cut through trees opposite The Red House. Flush Bracket is facing the hedge, I had read previous comments and came prepared with cutters to allow access to FB.

Walked up the grassy incline from the footpath with the trees to my right. No one around; very green and overgrown in the pillar's vicinity. Lovely birdsong.

Parked at the end of the road by the footpath lots of unwelcomming signs so walked through the wood then back over the grass. Parking is a problem on the road but otherwise I concur.

A bit trespassy, probably best to approach directly from the road. Tarmac plug.

After Oakmount (TP5206), this time I wasn't going to let the brambles and nettles get the better of me, so I embarked on an extensive defoliation programme before attempting to read the FB number!
