Revisit to Investigate the reports that the pillar has disappeared from the quarry. However, it is still there in exactly the same position it was last July on my last visit. Still hope yet that the land owner will reinstate the pillar somewhere in the vicinity - hopefully adjacent the public right of way that goes around the quarry. ETA Update: Mamba J Fox on the OS Trigpoints Facebook page has confirmed that the object in my photos is definitely the trig pillar! He managed to get into the quarry somehow and took a selfie of himself next to the pillar. Hence, the status of the pillar should be changed back to toppled.

Despite walking aroumd the security fencing and peering through 3 sides there was no sign of the trig pillar in what is now a quarry. Another “as close as possible is good enough” bag out of 8 ticked off today

Sadly, the quarry has now been extended into the area in which the pillar was located. Managed to stand on top of a wooden fence at SK 60503 46719 to take a look into the quarry. Spotted what appeared to be the pillar lying toppled within the quarry at roughly its original location. Was not possible to view the pillar from what is left of the field it used to be in, as there is now an embankment in front of a very tall fence which blocks the view into the quarry. From walking around the whole site, the view I got into the quarry appears to be the only view you can get. Not 100% certain that what appears to be the pillar is the pillar, as the object was around a third of a mile from my vantage point and my iphone 13 was on full zoom and blurry. However, it looks like the pillar, and assuming it is, hopefully it will be moved to and reerected at a new location nearby - hopefully on the public right of way. Would suggest that next visitor takes a pair of binoculars with them to get a better view to confirm whether the object is definitely the pillar, but I doubt whether it will remain in its present position for very long

Parked on a gravelled area across the road to the east. PROW entrance is off a busy B road. Looking at maps and pictures, PROW historically went straight on and was flanked by a hedge (and fence at some point) but has now been diverted around the field by a different hedge and fence. We followed this to the left and came across the gate Dazedemon mentions in Aug 2022 but the new fence now prevents access this way. Kept going left and there is public access into the field with sheep but soon come up against the new fence again. Trig looks in good condition but sadly unable to confirm. Would love to know if there’s access if approached from elsewhere.

As close as we could get. Standing at the new fence. Zoomed in as much as possible

intended to re-visit. expected to take ROW from B684 and across field to next hedge, but immediately on stepping over the stile I was faced by a high security fence and a quarry, with path diverted left and right. Presumed destroyed. Looking at other recent logs at home I'm puzzled where the pillar was found; has quarry expanded further or pillar been moved ?

(1436) Handy pull in/field entrance nearby. The PRoW has now been diverted away from the pillar, and follows the field boundary instead. Pillar visible in the hedge, but the field was full of sheep, so I thought i'd leave this one for a return visit later on in the year. Pillar history: Built on the 23rd of October 1948, at a cost of £8 19s 2d. Last maintained by the OS in January of 1980.

Onwards from Killisick Lane - if following this route, make sure you cross the newish stile on your L into the sheep field as you descend the path, otherwise you will end up heading towards a housing estate as we and others have done. Good views of a clay pit, and very entertaining lambs at this time of year! Metal cap, shallow letters, S s/hole open, otherwise vgc.

Second of two trigs on way to see an old school mate. Easy to park up if needed on triangular grass patch at road junction, go through the stile and cross the field to find the trig in the neatly trimmed hawthorn hedge. Field was full of sheep and lambs grazing away at the time. NW view was of some sort of land reclamation. No time to visit Killisick Lane trig just half a km W of this unfortunately.

the idea was to follow the advise of Rhayader-Wanderer and walk on the ROW from the trig at killisick lane, looks that easy i left the map in the car, started well but could not find path as the main track turned right, tried to improvise across a couple of fields and ended up in new housing estate, 1 hour later back at car and drove round, easy parking at roadside across from footpath to trig.

A tiny bit of white paint on the top surface only. In a hedgerow just off the B684. Some limited views East and North East.
