After a hike around the Bramham Park Estate with Dearne Valley Walking Group that included a visit to Thorner Moor, Steve Pennock and I remained in the area to do some trig bagging. This was one of six more that afternoon. The landowner was present and granted us access over the left hand gate for the short walk to the pillar, tucked in a corner to the right, behind the hedge row. The pillar is in generally good condition but the centre cap for the spider has been replaced and there is some minor damage to the top of the pillar.

(2238) Rough-ish layby across from the reservoir entrance for parking on Compton Road. RHS gate open and I could hear activity, so popped across. Met with a chap who was happy for me to visit the pillar, which was soon reached. Top is a bit battered, and the centre cap is non original, but otherwise in reasonable condition. Pillar history: Built on the 12th of Oct 1937, at a cost of £4 10s 9d. Last maintained by the OS in June of 1986.

I visited on New Year's Eve on a zero crisp morning. I accessed the pillar by climbing over the gate on the left. I then walked along a track at the side of the field, the other side of the hedge next to the resevoir. The pillar was easy to spot in the hedge on my right, there is a break in the hedge and you can walk around and take a good look at it. Great views all around.

Parked in the lane, took the left of three gates, quick jog up the hard track at the field edge and as the track turns right, the trig is hidden inside a hawthorn hedge. There is a better view from the other side of the hedge, as it really is stuck in there. It looks to be in good condition, albeit with some minor damage to the top edges. The hedge makes a fine suit of armour!

Log #68. (106m). First visit 19/05/10. Attempted bagging this one while doing a 13km circular walk from Bardsey via East Rigton, Rigton Bank, Compton, Dalton Lane, Wothersome, Stubbing Moor & Pompercali/Hetchell Crags. The walk was excellent, but there was no legal access to the trig pillar. Revisit today and whoaa.... the gates to the field were open! Farmer in the field. Not a cloud in the sky, but the view to The White Horse shows the usual haze for that distance.

Still hidden in the hedge. Easily found but only with the invaluable information given by others. The area seems to be used for storage of chemicals and/or fertilizer and therefore not one of the most inspiring locations. However, the pillar is still there - what more could one ask for. Pillar is in good condition and has a plastic plug.
