Pulled over on east side of road about quarter of a mile south east of Prestwood near to start of footpath heading north east into a corn field. Through gate then turned north after passing back of houses and followed field boundary which turned east after about 100 metres. After about fifty metres spotted pillar under trees to north of field. Ivy starting to take over. Quite a pile of old logs and branches behind the pillar. A bit of gardening to tidy up. No views. Cap plugged. Fading whitewash.

Parked by ROW on Green Ln and then walked along ROW and then field edge. WOW, can you see this Trig. The vegetation around it has all been cut down and cleared away and the pillar its self has been give a lovely coat of white paint! Nice walk to it but no views really.

Not too bad at this time of year - not in the worst part of the thicket.

Nasty one to get to, but if you don't wear a thin T-shirt, and you don't wear shorts, you won't be mutilated by the thicket. I did, I do, and I was....

Almost missed this one as it is heavily camoflagued by moss, ivy and brambles. No chance of it being used as a trig point any time soon methinks.

Right in the middle of a thicket - totally overgrown! Plate number visible with some difficulty! About 300 metres NW of footpath on edge of field. No views except across field East.

Site visited on 26 September 1981 but pillar not found. On this visit left the public footpath and walked around edge of field to find the unpainted pillar in a small group of trees around a pond.
