1091022/10/2015ST 53488 09894  F: Concrete water cistern.
O: Seems to be clearly in Somerset by approx 60m, so not sure why it's listed as being on the border and thus appearing in both Somerset and Dorset county lists.

O: This is the S summit. HP is the Somerset side of the hedge, not as per os spot height. This doesn't appear to be a Dorset hill at all - unless (raised) hedgebank taken to be HP. OS spot ht is wrongly located on E side of fence which is steeply downhill.

Parked near railway bridge, walked up road and then along track by cottage. Gate into pasture and an open gate into field with water tank. Also checked out alternative top.PeterD18/09/2022
Parked in layby W of Coker Wood Cottage. Track up inside wood, then over broken gap in wall, and over bwf (with the aid of a tree) into summit field. Visited summit by cistern, then to alternative highpoint via gates.PGCE04/06/2022
Tracks through wood from near railwaybridge are easy walking although signs indicating poaching takes place. The track ends abruptly and in a bramblefest. Not pleasant at all. Returned down track at side of wood/field via cottage.cjo29/12/2021
Every gate has (NO ENTRY WORKING FARM). Anyway parked in a layby near Coker Wood Cott. There is a track along the inside edge of Coker Wood. At the end of the stone wall is a single gate giving easy access to a pasture next to the pasture with the cistern. The twin HP to the south looked higher but my GPS gave both the same height.fosal2922/09/2019
Up from W to cistern summit. Then south to twin summit in paddock, whose HP is the Somerset side of the hedge, not as per os spot height. This doesn't appear to be a Dorset hill at all.RHW26/02/2016
Walked up from minor road to W. Circular concrete water cistern at HP.jonglew22/10/2015
Judging by the signs on every gate the farmer is of the GOML persuasion. Ignored the signs and parked close to gate to the N and followed track along the edge of Coker Wood. Had to climb over dry stone wall, battle through a thin curtain of scrub and climb a bw fence to access the field with the circular concrete thing. Whether it's a nuclear fallout shelter, prison for abducted Albanians or reservoir I couldn't say but the efforts to keep people of this land made me suspect the worst.Herbert Anchovy29/04/2015
