Parked in NT car park to west of Beacon. About 75 north along the road then east along footpath through the camp site, just starting to get ready to reopen for Easter. About five hundred metres east across field and along field boundary then north uphill. Very exposed at the top. Very difficult to hold still to take photographs. Built of stone materials. No F B, but does have OS plaque, so knew this must be the TP. Also has usual spider, cap plugged but there is a direction indicator on top. Fabulous views even though difficult to stand there for long. Update after reading other logs, seems the original pillar has been built over. FB covered over presumably, and left recorded as none as it is not visible. Also presumed pillar is in good condition underneath its outer layer of bricks. Maybe one day it will be uncovered again.

Parked in the Wheal Coates NT car park, walked through the camp site onto the open hill. What have they done to this TP.... No Flush Bracket but they kept the spider. So just to make it interesting a bit of the history of the hill and Trig. This hill was a historic beacon site where signal fires were lit to warn the country of imminent sea-borne invasion. Beacon fires are still lit here when the local community celebrates important events. In prehistoric times the hill was a burial and ceremonial site, and there are four Bronze Age barrows dating from 2000 to 1500BC, one directly beneath the trig point. The Beacon was a coastguard lookout from 1914 to 1926, when it was replaced by the lookout at St Agnes Head. In the Second World War it again acted as an early warning system, when a Type 57 mobile radar station operated here, its hand-turned aerial scanning the sea for enemy ships. A coin from the reign of Julian (AD 360) was dug up near the summit in 1910. You can see a replica at St Agnes Museum.

Unsure what is 'good' about this abomination - is it another NT job? No longer functional as sight holes cannot be used, therefore 'damaged'. From minor road to E. Why the need to convert pillars to toposcopes, why not just build one to the side? Vandals!

What an interesting pillar. Loving the photo on TPUK from 1991 when it still looked like a conventional pillar. What a shame they didn't resite the FB when they made the pillar "huge". Ran here from Portreath along the coast path. Fantastic scenery and history in these parts. Clouds around in the morning, but they had all burnt off by the afternoon. Let the heatwave begin!

The score of 'Good' for the pillar reflects the strong suspicion that it still exists inside its entombment of stones. No sign of the flush bracket, which is a pity - that should really have been re-sited during the construction of the toposcope.

My 50th extant pillar and what a spectacular place! Short climb from lane to east on a beautiful bright day. Despite the sunshine a cold wind was blowing off the sea - my t-shirt was not quite enough to keep me warm! Pillar now appears to be encased inside a stone-built topograph - the original spider and a tarmac cap is visible on the top through a circular hole in the topograph plate. Consequently no flush bracket is visible. Excellent views along the coastline to the SW and NE, and good views inland (Carn Brea monument clearly visible). Position logged from GPS device accurate to ±5m.

The pillar is clad in stone and stands on a gorse and heather hilltop; the FB is not visible; it has a concrete plug; a topograph plate covers most of the spider and it has an OS GPS plate on the side. The hill was reached by the footpath from Beacon Cottage Farm with my son, my sin-in-law and my granddaughter after we had spent a couple of hours exploring the fascinating old mine buildings of Wheal Coates and admiring the spectacular coastal scenery of the heritage coast. From the pillar there are stunning, long ranging views: north and south along the coast and inland over the countryside of Cornwall.

This pillar is more interesting as it is not concrete and has a plaque on top with distances to nearby points. The views are outstanding on a good day, but can be very windy, like it was today.

The pillar is now incorporated within the Beacon Monument. As such this point must give one of the all time great views of Cornwall. Well worth a visit

I agree with all the other comments. Fabulous North coast views. Why no photos before mine?

Top plate of trig.

Logged as damaged - either it is buried within, and most likely thereby damaged, or it was demolished to create space for the topograph - which does state 'with permission and assistance of Ordnance Survey'. The spider does appear to be embedded on original concrete in my photo.

Seems like we were one of the last to see the pillar before it was entombed.

Went up on holiday with the children. The pillar was not encased at this point in time

The Beacon is very much a local landmark, and the views are extensive over land and sea. A steady climb - much evidence of the industrial mining past in the area.
