Pulled over at T junction to south of mast. Pillar visible in field about seventy five metres from the gate. Cap missing. Plinth is crumbling away. Good views to south. Extra point for being in its own little fenced compound with an unlocked gate. A few metres west of the pillar and mast great views open out to the north.

Gate from road was reinforced to make climbing over difficult and notice on it advising against access into field, so photographed this one from the road.

Someone ended up at this out of order. Parked down the road from the mast gates to find farmer in field with digger, asked permission to visit trig which was granted with no bother. Trig in wee compound but it has a gate. Compound fence and barbed wire a little worse for wear so even Mrs TJR could get over it with no effort! With Coineanach Hutch. #12 pillar of the trip.

Parking at mast access gate. Pillar sits on a small fenced covered resr. Foundations look a bit dodgy although pillar is upright. Original metal cap gone, no plug; rear sight hole open.

Negotiated VERY narrow lanes to get here. Parked at gate.This is a high trespass! Cows in field but luckily the right side of electric fence! Good view north to Exmoor but didnt hang around as my car alarm went off, bearing in mind the trespass factor and farm opposite.

301m

I parked in the gateway at the road junction to the south - even though you shouldn't as access at all times is needed. Then walked up the grass track towards the mast. The pillar is in its own fenced compound with a small gate and is situated on what I think will be a small reservoir. Pillar in good condition but unfortunately the plug is long gone leaving the top open to the elements.

on a blowy day, there was the sound of the wind whistling through the ubiquitous mast close by.

Easy access up track that leads to a mast. Our last trig in the south of England above 300 metres (I think). GPS plaque, plug missing.

Easy spot, wide views over N Devon. The spot was gated on my visit, so I didn't wander onto the site.

Taken from the road.

Sits on small reservoir which fortunately only has barbed wire fence around it.
