Lovely walk around the hill. Checked for remains in location. Several pieces of concrete in the ground at location. But only remains of what maybe the base

Nothing of the old one. Base of the new one maybe!

Great view.. supposedly S2374 followed by 11124 both gone. Who really cares about the trig history. Good hill walk up track from the North.

Parked near Duprey Road & used FP to pass "Centre Bark" a doggie day care facility + horses then up to summit. Lovely morning with views to Devon.

Parked in Port Tennant and used the network of paths to get up the hill. I lived in Swansea and gower for six years but never came up this hil so it was a good feeling to visit it. Weather very murky. The ferris wheel offered the only view of bright lights in Swansea.

No trace of trig, either in expected location W of mast, nor inside or around compound. Decent summit, somewhat spoiled by big mast compound and … the view! 16/7/11 update, having seen dugswell pic of concrete ?base: OS trig archive says pillr replaced 09/85 by buried block, co-ords 267127.031 , 194019.891 - exact same location as pillar. I had no GPSr at time of 2007 visit but did get pic of said basey thing. No metalwork I am told.

Trig woz here? Could that be the base?

Could only find its original position. Trigpoint can be seen on the OS One-Inch Series revised 1963/64. Height given as 633ft. No masts at that time.

We decided to do this ex trig as the hill is a well known feature of Swansea and offers great views over the city. Apparently the trig was finally destroyed in 1985. Originally it's number was S2374, later being rebuilt as 11124.

It's gone from both map and ground, all that remains is a depression where the soil has been filled in after removal. No hints of definitely broken base either. BUT well worth a visit for the views of Swansea bay. Plenty of park points but just to the north with a 1km walk in is nice.
