Same route as the Historian, very muddy at the moment as is everywhere. Walked across to have a look at the church on our return.

Parked in the lay-by below Petton Church. The bridleway heading south takes you to within 2 fields of the trig.

Second attempt at this one with time running out and cattle trouble before. Tried the PROW but again yet more cows and calves blocked the route. However this time I had planned a route from the west, good tracks lead almost all the way to the trig with room for one car to park at SJ 4327 2570. Super sunny morning this was my last extant pillar of the 202 in SJ Block. Trig in vgc with an unlettered cap sunny rural view.

Parked on the road to the north east of the pillar. Took the public right of way (PRoW) from there. Headed south west off the PRoW at SJ 44116 25787 through an open gate. Then climbed over a gate at SJ 43980 25710 into the trig field, and then headed south west to the other side of the field where the pillar is situated.

Not that easy to get to. There is a low fence in the bush at SJ550255. You get over the fence with ease and then there's another to your right lieading up the side of crops to the trig. Plug has been replaced but it isn;t a filled plug.

Nothing really to add other than to confirm that it is still there and in good condition.

Parked at start of bridleway. Lots of cow pats and flies encountered en-route to the trig. Had to do some gardening to reveal the pillar.

parked by a gateway on the single track road to the west of the pillar and followed the farm track / bridleway a couple of fields before turning left in front of the maze field, then right into the narrow opening of the second maze field ... follow the hedge row up the rise to the pillar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIMayTfjrRU

Highly unremarkable but a good pillar to have got out of the way for me.

In field of cut maize 3m north of hedge. Likely high point of large 'level' hill top. Accessed from Petton via bridleway then west along grassy field edges. Farm land views. Breaking cloud, westerly breeze.

Mud! This pillar is a long way from dry ground, and was a tough dirty job to get at. On the edge of a grass field on an attractive, mud aside, farming landscape. Pillar intact, and like a lot of its neighbours, a "BsM" type.
