Think this was a first true easy roadside, we were both discussing where it could be and I opened the car door and there it was, no climbing necessary for this one. With Coineanach Hutch. #13 pillar of the trip.

On the top of the hedge, with the FB (thankfully!) facing the minor road. I didn't see whether the plug was still there, since the farmer was trimming the hedge at the time!

Fifth of several visited on the way home one day. Map notes record it as being on a bank with good long-distance views to the SW.
