Parking at SD 72235 17212, just by the reservoir. An adjacent car park has a picnic area. Easy walk to trig via various ProW. Pleased to note the trig is in good condition, excepting the missing flush bracket. Had a look for the Druid stones; have uploaded photos. Further to Kevlar’s note regarding the size of the stones, I am minded of Spinal Tap and the misunderstanding regarding the measurements for their model of Stonehenge. Perhaps the Druid stonemasons misread the architect’s plans ; inches instead of feet.

Our labradoodle and Druid stone Includes our canine companion to give the stone perspective; it does appear to make unique headgear.
A Druid stone, methinks

My 50th 'bag'. And delightful after the disappointment of Clarkes Hill Resr earlier in the day. A lovely walk up to this one. Shame about the bracket but C'est La Vie. The Stone circle was an anti climax. I wasn't expecting Stonehenge but to find small rocks in the long grass that didn't even look like a circle was really disappointing and makes the flamboyant name of this trig sound rather pathetic tbh.

Where did 2018 go?? Parked at the Entwistle picnic/dog walking site and after a couple of wrong turns found ourselves on Access Land looking the Witton Weavers Way. Not easy. And the final jaunt to the top was easy on this very dry day, but I was expecting more of a waymarker. Still, the top was pleasant. Southwards off the top and then back up along the WWW again. Simple stuff, but a spot of adventure finding Spring Bank Farm. So the story has got to be the pubs. The Strawberry Duck was rammed. (Thursday before Easter.) One beer garden full of screaming kids, the other full of yappy dogs. We didn't stay long. The Black Bull in Edgworth didn't start well. Access to the bar prevented by ruddy faced loud men in cheap trainers. No food until 5.30. (We arrived at 5.00) We retired to the outside balcony. Wonderful. Warm. Great view. Friendly locals, and the food when it finally arrived was excellent. Good day in the ned.

Approached the trig from Cox Green Road. Using a path that ran alongside a driveway the path was clear until the third style. From there, their is a path but it tends to go around Cheetham Close rather than up it. So that meant a direct trek to the top which is quite challenging. Once at the top, 360 deg views but the trig is damaged and quite nondescript.

Open moor, mapped as access land. Pillar in damaged condition, flush bracket S2802 was stolen long ago. Spider centre contains a partially burnt plastic cap. Flush bracket faced ESE, compass measurement 119°. Vented through sight hole on what was FB face. Full 360° panoramic view. Part of a 24 trig stint around the northern outskirts of Manchester.

The circle is north of the pillar, about 100m - nothing very obvious or special. I looked on the web - there is a second one close by - buried. Pillar still has no FB. Nice day, but wet underfoot

Accessible and visible. On public footpath but surrounded by water and mud. Pillar has been mutilated and flush bracket removed and that area is weathing badly. Otherwise pillar is not in too bad a condition. A very good view point of the surrounding countryside
