Followed moorsman's description to the letter, except I ran it. Saw the 'no trespassing' sign which seemed a little out of place | madaddo | 01/05/2017 |

If you turn onto the public footpath there is a small parking area immediately to your right. Follow the treeline for a couple of fields and then head diagonally across the next one to the summit. No need to cross the wall as my GPS showed the eastern side to be higher. | moorsman | 05/12/2014 |
From ESE, RoW then pasture. Rocky knoll W side of wall visited as visibility was v poor but is maybe lower than wall base. | RHW | 29/11/2014 |
From N end of wood to ENE of hill. Followed f/p along N side of wood to its crest, then across field to high point by wall just N of a trough. Went over wall and electric fence to check a little knoll about 10m from wall but didn't seem any higher. | Aye Jimmy | 09/11/2014 |
