So many trails in the area! Parked by Monk Bretton priory and made my way to the trig using the Trans Pennine walk. No real views from the trig as now hidden in the woodland on the hill top. From the edge of the trees, Monk Bretton in the valley below and Emley Moor mast on the very distant hill.

We parked up on Emmerdale Way and headed up the ROW between two houses, as it opens out to unexpectedly stunning views. The track then heads past a communications mast and into a pleasant area of woodland, and the pillar sits a short way along in a little clearing in the trees. The trig is in weathered condition, with exposed foundations and missing its cap, but it's a nice spot to visit. Word of caution - the entire track is an obvious dogwalking run, and you would be well advised to watch where you put your feet. Pillar #88 for DD.

No centre plug, but in good condition in regards to everything else. Some white paint is visible in places. Pillar history: Built on the 15th of April 1937, at a cost of £6 3s 10d. Last maintained by the OS in August of 1985.

Having got held up in Barnsley traffic it was near dark when I eventually got to this trig. I found the entrance by going into the housing estate off the A636 main road over the rounderbout and turning right at the top and about twenty yards along, a path between two houses along the edge of the field and into the woods. The trig looked fine in the dark!
