FB partially buried in soil. Presumably the fence is older than the pillar, as the rails pass right though it. pillar installed in 1945. Fence looks quite old too, so may have been installed at same time or per-date the pillar.

A relatively straight forward visit and find although one has to trespass onto preserved land. All this entails is following the tractor track from the road, where I parked, to the pillar. Looks to be in good condition although I wonder whether the rail that it is used to support passes through the pillar. Some nice rural views

Novel pillar this, with the fence poles passing right through it. That must have been more trouble than it was worth surely? Easy access from the road, via path beside the house. Parked by the cycle route fingerposts. No fences to scale.

Easy parking beyond the houses on the bend where the cycleway splits off walk back and up into the field to a trig that is guarded by 5 bee hives presumably working the rape field.

well after 174 trig logs I was accosted for the first time. I had been a bit on the cheeky side, so I was not surprised. I had reversed off the road to turn around, and knowing it was only 250 ft away I jumped out of the car and dashed to the trigpoint. Just as I was taking a photo I looked back to the car and could see a lady standing by it. I rushed back and apologised for parking in her field. She was very nice about it :o)

I think may be that the fence was built around the trig.

In wide overgrown hedge between two fields, with just the top showing. Had to clear brambles and grass to get the number. Private
