Parked close by, visited mound by road and ventured to other possible HP in pet graveyard and a nearby earthbank.PeterD04/03/2023

A few metres east of road verge in pleasant woodland.Campbell Singer31/03/2019
The nearby Haldon Belvedere ( white turreted castle/memorial 1788 with public access to grounds and tower open some Sunday afternoons) is the highlight here albeit it is a little lower than the actual HP. The indistinct HP is in woodland close to the road- layby for easy parking as well as by Belvedere.Denise 28/01/2019
Ground crossed by earth bank in woodland N of the road feels higher than the area in vacinity of the road. A short walk to the N, the impressive Haldon Belvedere is on a much better, albeit lower, hill and commands excellent views - no access issues.RichardM28/01/2019
