After reading logs on here I decided to approach this from the West via Brownwich Lane instead of clambering through the ditch at the bottom of Occupation Lane. From Common Lane you head South down Brownwich Lane until you see Heath Nursery on the left, then follow the public footpath heading East. The second gate you cross through leads you into the field containing the Trig. There were a couple of horses in the field when I visited, but they ignored me after a bit of initial curiosity. Good views from pillar down towards the Solent.

Approach from the west on the footpath from Brownwich Lane. The lane is gravel, residential, and wide enough that you can park considerately, whilst travelling the 0.3 miles to the trig point. Two 'standard' metal kissing gates need to be passed through, but no stiles.

Using OS Explorer OL3, looked like a fairly easy find being on or adjacent to a public footpath. Approached from north along Occupation Lane. Mystified at the end of the lane as no footpath was obvious. Just a private house. Walked up and down a few times then eventually checked on here and saw the very helpful advice to get down in the ditch and head around the corner. Thank you Widget. Had to clamber over two obstacles, one to get into the ditch and another in the ditch, then a fence to get into the field where the pillar is. Possibly easier to approach from east or west along the marked footpath. Good views towards the Solent.

Walked here from the Chilling Trig via Brownwich Lane and a short walk along the path to the pillar. I see that most people approach from Occupation Lane but parking looks difficult and the ditch has been dug out which makes a steep climb to a fence that has barbed wire on it.

Down at the bottom of Occupation Lane. The footpath seems to be in a drainage ditch. Might make it difficult to get to if wet. Lovely fuchsias on the bank side. Trig in empty grassy field, just over fence. A bolt snapped holding the rear pannier frame. And had to retrieve bits from road.
