The pillar is showing signs of wind erosion on two sides. The plug is missing from the spider and has been replaced with a plastic disc. This pillar is easy to locate but does come with the best of views.

Spotted this one across the way when I came to a T junction on the A39 heading for Harlyn via Condolden barrow trig, so just had to do it. Reversed up to the locked gate off the A39, climbed over and ran to the trig, passing an old ROC bunker on the way (didn't check to see if it was padlocked). Blustery wind and driving rain made this a quick visit.

As per per - Sits on tumulas on A39 parked slip road further down, could have driven right along side pillar gate open. Verge very holey and road very busy, so take care. ROC station also close the trigpoint. With Coineanach Hutch #26 pillar of the trip.

On top of a tumulus next to a NATS mast, huge slug on the FB, and surrounded by lots of noisy sheep. Why do they seem to think I've always come to feed them?! Extensive views over N Cornwall, including the Davidstow cheese factory, and all those wind turbines! All s/holes open, plastic cap, otherwise vgc.

Local wildlife Why does his slimy trail start only part way across the FB? How did he get there - was he parachuted in?

Visited whilst geocaching in the area. Noted the obs post close by, padlocked so no exploring today. Simple approach as per previous logs.

easy find & access over gate. Sheep in field, short walk to pillar on mound, could be a barrow. Good views, but not particularly interesting. Replacement plug.

No problems with access, just some surprised sheep. The plug is missing, replaced by a cap. A bit too far away from the coast for the best views but still a nice location.

Parked in the gateway and hopped over the gate - nothing remarkable about this one. Some slight scuffs and damage on faces and but not enough to justify anything other than "Good" condition.

Picked a filthy day to bag this one. Ticked it off while coming back home to Cornwall (from the Goodwood Festival of Speed) avoiding the worst of the A30 traffic. No ideas what the view was like..................

Straightforward stroll from A39, although there are quite a few nettles to contend with to get into the field.
