Narrow country roads, tricky to find somewhere to pull over. Pulled over into field entrance just east of T junction. Over gate and along hedge line running south west. Field just long grass, is overlooked by neighbouring property. After about 100 metres, pillar is visible on the right and there’s a narrow gap in the hedge just big enough to duck through to get to the next field and the pillar. Only view is across the field where it is standing.

Parked on minor road due north near junction. Short walk and over gate into field and about halfway to a big tree you will see a gap in the hedge on your right and the Pillar is visible. May need to get on hands & knees as very thorny.

Just managed to squeeze the car into the area in front of the metal gate, next to a house called Hill Rise. Over the gate followed the hedge on my right, through the very convenient hole! Unfortunately I managed to put my hands on a dry piece of gorse, prickles everywhere ugh. No views. Last of the day.

Peered through a gate at the side of the road but no view due to the summer growth of trees and hedges

Same route as previous logger, thorn hedge getting difficult and no secateurs - again! Pillar is on NW side hedgerow and currently being used as a fence stay. Original cap in place, lightly indented lettering; front, left & right sight holes sealed, rear not easily accessible.

I'm not sure why this area is called a heath for I saw nothing that signifies that. Simply lush green fields scattered around a countrified suburbia. Climbed over a farm gate, then scrambled through a thorn hedge to find this pillar.

Easy hop over the fence and walk to this one - Pillar located just through hole in hedge - slight damage looks like it been hit by a tractor.

Bagged this one without research as we came from Hoads Hill. Did as previous log and used the gate opposite the cream house in the long lane, otherwise your on the wrong side of the hedge. Surrounded in thorn bushes but thankfully the hedging had been recently cut, but still a painful and bloody experience trying to get on top of this one. In good condition.

Mid hedge and overgrown. dont enter by the locked gate on the road junction but instead go up the lane and over the locked gate opposite a house this puts you in the correct field.

Ensnared in ivy, on the edge of a flat pastoral field that wasn't much like heath (heaths always have bracken or heather!). FB on wrong side to read and it was a bit trespassy so I didn't bother going round to the next field.

Writing this in Aug 2018. Just dug out an old map and found notes on a few trigs I did in 1998. I remember this trip well, on NY Day as part of a resolution to do more trigging, I got up early and drove around a circuit of six North of Portsmouth. This was the fourth, and my notes say, "Got cold wet feet in a waterlogged field walking up to this one. Sun rising beautifully through wintery trees" Get me, all poetic.
