Fourth & fifth trigs of a seven trig 'bag' from East to West from Dundraw...Lay-by parked on the left of the minor road, just off the t-junction on the Alkshaw Round Hill road at GR 137 476. Walked North to take a right over a gate with a diagonal right across the field to the hedge-engrossed trig. The trig was only accessible by a barbed wire fence climb into the adjacent field. Continuing downhill from the triig to a gate in the right-hand corner, climbing that gate the toppled trig of Raise How can he located within the foliage to the right. Re-ascending to the Aldoth trig departure can be made via the gate in the corner of the trig field at GR 137 484 & not the one prior to it used in ascent...Use this gate to ascend & save yourself the need to cross the barbed wire fence I did!

WAB activation. 4 QSOs. There has been some recent fencing. The easy access is along the hedge from the road. See map

Pillar tucked within a gorse bush. Barb wire fence makes for an awkward climb over the fence to touch the trig. Cattle grazing field.Thankfully they were in another part of the field.

Verge parking to ENE - very soft and muddy. Walked over site of Raise How, the original pillar. Aldoth sits on a plinth in a gorsey hedgerow. Top cap missing, no plug; sight holes not determined. Extensive views N across the Solway Firth.

Met friendly famer on his quad bike as we walked along the green lane to north of trig. He has happy for us to visit trig as no stock near it, showed us the best field to go up.

HISTORY: Pillar built in November 1968 costing £84.1s.0d. Computed as fourth order triangulation station NY11/T98 in 1968. Levelled for height in 1971. Last maintained by the OS in March 1977. SITE VISIT: Initially lost in gorse, barbed wire thoughtlessly strung all over the place. Whole setting could have done with tidying up had time permitted. Pillar in good condition. Spider centre open. Flush bracket faces northeast, ~54°. Vented through SW sight hole. Replacement station for nearby S5708, Raise How.

Cumberland. I had to fight through the gorse to get to the trig itself. Plug missing.

The FB is difficult to reach through the gorse on the North side of the boundary. The cap is missing with the Pillar used as a fencepost for the barbed wire fence.

Aldoth ..barbs, natural and man-made.

We parke at the end of the track, then over the gate and up to the trig, which is protected by gorse bushes. This must be a rebuild for the Raise How trig hence the 5 figure number. Plug missing.
