| I had already visited the trig point some years ago but revisited today with the family to go to the high point, though I agree it looks like the trig is actually higher than the spot height when you stand there. | Father Ted | 16/04/2017 |

| Easy parking by cattle grid to west. Path. Steep but quick. Takes longer on the plateau working out the highest part. Could even be the trig. Give yourself at least 20 minutes for wandering around. | destaylor | 12/04/2013 |

| Walking the rhymney valley ridgeway walk,the 322 metre reading is either near a fence line or got a 322 reading near the dyke although the area is generally flat with few features. With nice views to cefn eglwysilan on a sunny day. | hodder | 28/03/2012 |
