Parked in the bird reserve opposite then over the road to the trig in a crop field. Walked up tramlines to avoid damaging the crops. Nothing fancy about the trig. In an ok state. Then walked round the bird reserve but saw little.

Easy spot off the road. Parked in Hilfield Hill nature reserve. Tight fit between to concrete posts at the entrance. Walked across to the trig. Nothing special about is. In a good condition. Seems to have been painted white at some time. No views really.

Easily bagged pillar a short distance into a harvested crop field with an easily crossed roadside boundary, opposite a convenient car park. Pillar looks a bit grotty with the barest remnants of white paint clinging to it, and a liberal covering of bird mess. Front face carries an "it is an offence to damage this pillar" plaque, and the spider and central tube look somewhat misaligned. Unspectacular view that doesn't extend much beyond the trig field.

Approached by road from the north west. Very narrow country lane. About four hundred metres before the T junction at Gore Hill is a ‘shrine’ at a fork in the road. Unusual to see in this country. Probably some connection with St Francis Friary which is nearby looking at the map. From the T junction, steep sharp turn to left. About twenty metres east of which is a convenient car park with width bollards. Pillar visible from the road. Straightforward access due south short distance across field. Views to south. FB defaced. Spider and cap in place. OS plaque on north face.

Middle of a very wet field of rape! Was on the point of passing up this one, but determined to go for it. It was raining quite hard and the rape crop was a b*gg*r to push through, so, as didn't have waterproofs on I got very, very wet! Bagged the trig though so all's well! Parked close by in a car park / picnic area.

The pillar is sited on a flat summit in a large arable field that has been recently harvested, it is painted white, has an OS plaque, an asphalt plug and FB S1513. If there is a wide view from the site it was obscured by mist and low cloud today. The outline of what I presume to be Little Minterne Hill and Giant Hill could be made out through the cloud to the east and southeast, otherwise nothing more visible beyond the hill top. Better views over Blackmore Vale to the north from the picnic site within Hilfield Hill nature reserve next to the nearby car park.

Access to the car park fine small piece of green paint left on exit plastic trim largely saving day. They really need to fill the pot hole in on the outer pair as it though your line off. Better still go 50m east and park roadside. And after all that there were no tractor marks though the crop.

A convenient tractor tack enabled me to get close to this trig without causing any crop damage. Accessing the car park nearby was a lot more difficult with their narrow paint eating bollards. Luckily my wife volunteered to jump out and guide me in.
