The trigpoint was not on a footpath so we walked around the edge of the field, soon spotted although it blended in very well with the wall.

Parked at junction of paths to E then walked up through wood and field to bridleway. Had to dodge farmer and dogs in sheep field immediately S, but once they had gone quick walk up field boundary to TP - sitting squat in vgc to N of wall. A beautiful sunny autumn morning with larks thinking it was spring and extensive views to N and E.

i suppose that one way for farmers to make some money is to grub out their cotswold stone walls and sell the stone

Hadn't checked this site in advance and just didn't see it, despite obviously being only metres away.

Built close to a dry-stone wall on the edge of what is now a winter cereal field but with considerable traces of last year's broadbean crop! All intact with the original plug [slightly indented letters]. W sighthole open, the others closed. Moss-encrusted on three faces for the lower 12". Holes under hooks filled in. Quite easy access, down track just off bridleway. Expansive agricultural views allround.

Not far off the RUPP behind a dyke. A typical wide open Cotswold space with lovely coloured mud. Larks singing on a spring day - good stuff. Intact and in good condition
