About fifty metres north of road. Pull in on same side quite convenient. Cap missing. Unconventional pillar, built with local (presumably) materials. Good views. National Trust plaque on pillar reassuringly confirms the name of the location.

Visited with CherryBubb as YSM0024 whilst on our way to Bude for the night. No one here when we pulled up in the lay-by. A quick run to the trig with the selfie stick to prove we actually visited the trig rather than armchair log it - who would do such a thing - certainly no "REAL" trig bagger. Trig has been adopted by The National Trust and encased in stone. Great 360 degree views at a high elevation.

Short walk across from roadside parking on B3223. Trig is sited to the side of one of five Bronze Age round barrows, the 3 more prominent collectively known as the Wambarrows; the 5 comprise a round barrow cemetery and are listed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Pillar is stone-built and displays a National Trust plaque. Original top cap is missing and there is no plug; there are also no sight holes. A significant chunk of stone and cement screed is missng from one top edge. Minimal views in light drizzle.

A stone built pillar with a National Trust plaque on the same side (S) as the flush bracket. The plug has gone missing and there is also a chunk of pillar missing too (see photo) so I have given the condition as slightly damaged.

The fifth and final trigpoint (and third YOSM location) of the final day of my excursion into the West Country. Almost a drive-by as there is a lay-by adjacent to the pillar which is only a matter of yards from the roadside. As well as being the last trigpoint of my trip, at 1,418ft it was by far the highest. Another pillar built from local stone and carrying a National Trust plaque. It looks like there is a chunk missing from the top, or maybe it was built that way? The centre plug is also missing. You can see for miles in all directions, but having said that, the views are just moorland and almost boring (but not quite). A fine location to finish with. Now it’s M5, M4, M25 & M1 home. It’ll be nice to sleep in my own bed again!

I hadn't planned to visit this one but whilst driving back from Haddon Beacon (TP3555) it occurred to me that I would drive right past this one. So, despite it being completely dark, I decided to stop at this one, finding a place to park about 200m along the road to the east. I have no idea what the views are - as I said it was completely dark when I visited! Plug missing.

With the Old Man, godson and his sister as part of the latter's training for the Ten Tours. From Tarr Steps in sunshine, but weather deteriorated after we had crossed Mounsey Hill (oddly, my maiden name!) so abandoned walk and visited trig by car.

Stone pillar by tumulus near B3223. Gloomy day, but spectacular rainbows. Pillar with remains of donations box set into it and carrying NT plaque. There is a new money box set into a small pillar in the car park.
