Airy location on low embankment, part of neolithic hill fort. Worth spending a bit of time exploring the rest of the fort.

Seventh trig of the day, and the only one which was actively a joy to bag. Easily reached; good condition; stunning views. From the stile at the back of the car park to the north east, though, a maze of paths lead across the violently undulating topography atop the edge of the hill. With chalky outcrops, ridgetop paths, clumps of bushes, and meadow flowers and butterflies galore, it's a very beautiful place to be.

Reminiscent of Liddington Hill, trig is on the earthwork of a hillfort If you're lazy, it's possible to park very nearby on the adjacent by way.

Turned east off the B3092 about half a mile north of the turning for Stourhead. East on Long Lane to car park, bit uneven. On foot uphill east, first tumuli mounds then bear south east. About five or six hundred meters to pillar, visible from a distance so clear where to aim for. Steady drizzle at the time. Didn’t see another soul. Probably lovely views on a clear day. Spider and cap in place. Wondered about driving further up the lane, perhaps in the summer when it is dry but noticed massive puddles on it at the time so probably just as well to have walked from the car park.

Walked up from White Sheet Lane car park. ROC station en route. It appears you can drive along the lane from the car park to nearer the trig point as several cars did this whilst I walked to and from the trig.

Walked up from Teme to watch the sun set on the longest day of the year. Lovely chalk downland. Lots of security robots protecting the workmans containers in the reservoir enclosure, makes you wonder what they could contain that was so precious, perhaps a supply of 'covid toilet rolls'.

12 mile walk from Mere taking in Long Knoll and White Sheet Hill trigs and various hills in sunny/overcast weather, approached from north and had to tiptoe around massive bull in the open access land, didn't seem to be bothered by our presence, didn't even get up, a few people about, drove round and did Barrow Street and Little Hill roadside trigs after walk.

Park at end of White sheet lane in small car park, it is possible with care to drive a little bit further along the restricted byway to the next bend near the 233 spot . Access to the trig point field is via a gate on right just after the 233 spot. Great open views.

In a rush so drove in from the east from the Mere - Deverrils Road. Easily driveable with a little care to within 250 m of trig, then an easy walk across two fields and round back of reservoir/mast. Pleasant location but very hazy today. Trig still has centre plate. Only missed Pyoung1s by 15 hours

Not the most impressive of places, but at least views are to be had. We bagged this trig en-route to Bradley Knoll, a Marilyn, which also boasts a trig pillar in good condition. ***Revisited 24 Sep 2014 en-route to a couple of nearby tumps, Long Hill and Zeals Knoll. Pillar in reasonably good condition but with a couple of horizontal cracks on one vertical corner. Original cap in place, lightly indented lettering; LHD side sight hole open. Large, rounded plinth with substantial crack in it. Rolling Wiltshire views, better than my first visit!

Often drive up/down the A303 and always promised myself that I would walk up from Mere to the edge of Sailsbury plain. Today was the day. Dropped my son off at Uni and had a very pleasant 3 hr walk. The trigpoint was a bonus. Had to help the local farmer separate some steers on the way back down!

Also noticed the milestone mentioned by Bluebeard (heading East along the track some way) - 1750 !! and 22 miles to Sarum (Salisbury) - it does mention how many miles from London but my knowledge of roman numerals let me down !

Just before the big bend, on the track up from the car park, is an eighteenth century milestone complete with the original sort of carved bench mark. I had to get out of the way of a man walking his dog. The dog was walking while the man was holding the dumb end of the lead out of his window as he drove along at snail's pace.
