Verge parking on minor road to NW. Over a field gate and across pasture. Platform not entirely overgrown; did some pruning of overhanging branches to allow access onto it. 2" domed bolt at centre.

Middle of bivallate Bronze Age hill fort. Small section of ditch remains. 348m diameter by 308m diameter. Now quatered into fields. In 1549 Cornish forces gathered here before fighting in Devon and besieging Exeter for 5 weeks. A candidate for Arthurs Kellywic!

Station T007 in Block SX06. Bolt in a platform in a hedge. Many Cornish trigs can be found high on platforms in hedges, only this one is a non-pillar triangulation station. Easy approach from NW, platform obvious, and to N of building at hedge junction.
