About half a mile west out of Pawlett village on narrow country lane. Pulled over on verge just to west of bridleway running north. Quite a busy lane, dog walkers, horse rider and one or two other vehicles passing by. Looked into hedge on north side of lane to east of the bridleway, pillar about ten metres east and a couple of metres north of the road, so into hedge and through shallow ditch. On field edge, views to north obscured by overhanging vegetation. Cleared some away and also removed some ivy growing up around base. Plugged cap. Raised S prefix.

I was working when I bagged this one. Well, what I mean is, I should have been travelling from A to B but chose to travel via C (or T in this case). Having parked in the road by a field entrance on the right, walked down the track for about 20 yards, right through a gap in the low grass covered wall then aimed right to the trig in the field edge next to the road. There is a war time bunker near by too. There are views north towards Burnham-on-Sea up the Parrett estuary and west towards the North Somerset Coast. Right, back to work. Sssssh.

Went searching for this TP last summer and failed to find it. Wasn't expecting it to be covered in vegetation. Thanks to the posts of others and their pictures I located it today free of vegetation but buried in a hedge. View looking north is great, very panoramic. View south however is rubbish consisting of hedge-road-hedge.

The pillar is sited inside a hedge between a minor road and a grass field on a small hill in a bend of the River Parrett; it is adjacent to a derelict ROC monitoring post and a pill box is nearby. The pillar is covered in ivy, it has FB S//3259 with a piece of string tied to it and it is plugged with concrete. The field side of the trig looks west and north to Hinckley Point Power Station, the Parrett Estuary, Brean Down, Steep Holm and Weston-super-Mare with Wales in the distance; beyond the ROC compound the line of the Mendips can be seen continuing towards Glastonbury Tor in the east. A gateway on the opposite side of the road looks out over the river to Bridgwater and the Quantocks. The wetlands of Bridgwater Bay are a SSSI.

Scores highly for me not just because of the trig but also for the surprise location 20 feet from it! I'll say no more but make sure you take a tourch if you visit this trig. I guess this, and the surrounding pill boxes, are down to the fact that a WWII anti-barrage ballon test facility was nearby - for more info see http://www.somersetpillboxes.co.uk/balloon_hanger.htm and http://webapp1.somerset.gov.uk/her/details.asp?prn=12722
