Pulled over into little used field entrance about 200 metres east of the turning off the Roman Road. Headed east along road for about 50 metres then south into woods. There was a ditch and an open field to the east , crossed ditch and walked along field, there were a couple of caravans on the far side of the field, not sure if they were in use. After another thirty metres or so spotted pillar on west side of ditch which I had just crossed. There was an old car battery next to the pillar. Spider and cap in place. No views as trees grown up around. About forty metres north of the pillar was an abandoned trailer. A bit like the land time forgot.

Good find - took footpath which goes through someone’s well kept garden and then after a rope gate it’s about 200m until turn north up the field after the ditch as noted. Again glad to actually find a Suffolk trig after a few failed attempts to find them especially near Minsmere

Hopped over the ditch and up the side of the wood. Not too difficult to find.

Easy bag, short walk from the public footpath to the south through a few trees. The field and public footpath have been cleared. Approaching from the road to the north is still possible but there was a gate to jump over. Car battery still in place. From the public footpath turn left when the path crosses the stream/ ditch (it was dried up when I came last summer) and it’s a short walk to the trig, it’s on the left side of the hedge.

A 3rd attempt and having reached it I'm kicking myself at how easy it should have been! The signed footpath from the road to the West disappears into an impenetrable jungle after a few yards. Take the road to the North, and enter the second gate signed "Little Long". Immediately turn right into the adjacent fallow field and cross diagonally left. About half way along there's easy access through the hedge and to pillar.

All intact - once we finally got there through a horrible thicket that was an orchard (once). best to attack this one from the gate from the road to the east - across the grassy field.

No view and a less than easy journey along a ditch and through brambles

best to get thru'/into hedge and into ditch in centre and walk up/down till trig found - on far bank. Dragged an old car battery next to trig - may help to spot it

In the middle of what looks like an old orchard.

Difficult to get to as quite buried in hedge. Best approached from field and gate to the east. West of it is overgrown and looks like a junk yard!
