| As Campbell Singer although the top has been landscaped and the grassy mound is no longer there. The summit area is bare and the summit, by eye, is now at 72319 12895. | clivevilla | 25/05/2021 |
| Good parking opposite the now defunct Rose and Crown at Rhosaman. FP starts next to the pub, over the stream and up beyond the tarmac track onto FP running to the west. Gradual climb sticking to a good track until SN72116 13471 Then go over bwf and straight up onto plateau. Summit at south end over easy going. Good views down into coal workings. | Campbell Singer | 29/08/2020 |
| Parked SN720122. Permission obtained from Security Guard to walk through site to top. | Ramblingpaul | 26/07/2020 |
| From cattle grid on road to Gorsto Farm (SN 7178 1392). RoW through the farm, then a direct line to the HP. The top is a vast expanse of flatness relieved by a few mounds of vegetated spoil overlooking the mining works. Neath Port Talbot county re-completed. | jonglew | 19/12/2019 |
| From NNE, via FP near Rose and Crown pub, followed BW until bend and then up to the flat summit. Followed track to HP. Open cast working to east still in use. Met survey crew in Land Rovers who pointed out I was on private land, but allowed me to visit HP. | PeterD | 23/04/2019 |
| I'm sure I've been to this spot before. Anyway I have now. Visited 20/02/2015. | Dusty | 07/12/2018 |
| 3 summit locs visited: SE summit (grassy mound) higher as far as I could tell from hand level. From NW via Gosto farm. The house owner insisted there was no footpath. When I used the term Right of Way he relented, then drove off (You'll have to climb the fence then!). All quite civil. Old track very much there, albeit no sign or stile | RHW | 23/09/2018 |
| With L on 4 hr circular walk including an exploration of this potential new Tump which had teasing contours on 1:25000 which hinted at p30 before stopping in a blank. Encircled the hill to make a simple ascent through gates from row from north with no keep out signs. Hill is made of the overburden from Celtic Energy's East Pit open cast coal mine. We witnessed some of the last coal being brought out and dumped in the stock yard as the mine is to close later this year with a loss of 250 jobs. Controversy,and a failed court case, exists over regeneration plans with Celtic Energy having sold the land rights and liabilities for £1 to a British Virgin Island based company who have big talk for a leisure centre / luxury resort (don't they always) but not the money to do it . Quite what you do with a 150 metre deep hole with very deep water and unstable steep sides is a good question. Very flat large grassed summit with one area of distinctive prominent overgrown mounds possibly the highes | Chris Pearson | 09/08/2018 |
