Walked up from Iwerne Courtney on the bridled way behind the church. Weather bit gloomy to take good pictures. Trig in good shape, plinth exposed. Spent a while in the Hill Fort. Lunch in the Cricketers.

Parked in the layby with the post box and took the bridleway through the wood, then yomped up the steep field edges to the summit and the trig. Had a lovely chat with a lost cyclist near the top before the final, gentler stretch across the last field. Trig is in fine condition, and enjoys superb views in all directions - I think it's impossible to take bad photos up here. Easily the highlight of the day.

Parked in Iwerne Courtney village church car park. Up footpath from road about a hundred meters north west of the church. Steady climb for about a kilometre. Pillar accessible next to gate. Good views all round although distant views slightly spoiled at the time by low cloud and slight mist.

Cycled up the north side of Hambledon (pushing for most of it). Great views from the top and dropped off to the south east to bag this trig. Great ride down the track to the east into Shroton (Iwerne Courtney) but instead I headed south over Hod Hill and towards the trig at Down End Farm.

We parked in Child Okeford (what a lovely sounding place name) to climb the hill and bag the HuMP and trig. The top of the hill has extensive earthworks including iron-age hill fort, long barrow, cross-dykes etc. A herd of friendly and inquisitive cows were grazing the summit, they didn't bother us, overly. The sun was shining, the views were excellent - it was a fine day.

Visited during a walk that included Hod Hill. The pillar is sited at the crossing of two bridleways within a Neolithic Camp. Its foundations are exposed by about a foot all round; it has a rough asphalt plug and FB S5901. Brilliant hilltop with massive views: the western edge of Cranborne Chase from Down End Farm to Melbury Hill; a wide expanse of the Blackmore Vale; Duncliffe Hill; a hazy Alfred’s Tower in the distance; Okeford Hill lies to the southwest with the various hills of the Dorset Ridgeway stretching into the distance; Hod Hill lies close by to the southeast and numerous other hills and ridges disappear into the haze. The Neolithic earthworks were barely noticeable but the Iron Age Fort at the north of the hill and the Iron Age and Roman earthworks on Hod Hill are phenomenal. A large portion of the hilltop is a NNR and a SSSI.

Good views from this close to hillfort location. Walked up from Stourpaine via Hod Hill. Interestingly an old map 1:25000 First series ST81 Shillingstone shows another triangulation station very close(ST845124).On looking around at this location nothing could be seen in the grass. Was there once another pillar?

Its within the Neolithic camp on Hambledon Hill, although there's not much of the camp to see. Your attention is drawn to the Iron Age hillfort at the northern end of the hilltop.
