From the NE, dirt pull-in for parking (NT 3627 6410). Good track heads into the woods, then some deer fencing.jonglew13/03/2024
From the NE along tyne esk trail at path crossroads sign continue for snother 100m then there is a gate to clear the high fences.cjo02/03/2024
Parked Newbyres Ave, Gorebridge, straight up and down core path. Awkward climb of fence to summit. Never seen so many high fences & padlocks. Don't all seem necessaryLynnebe13/08/2023
parked at start of track to NE, along path to NW then removed BW from gate and an easy climb over then rough walk to summitgrumpy23/02/2023

From road to ENE along good track. Over Deer fence to HP.PeterD15/05/2022
Parked at the path to the north. Jumped the fence and traipsed around the clearing in the nautical sunlight.JAdair9716/03/2022
Done as part of a gravel bike loop taking in Harle Rigging (aborted as the field has been ploughed), Dodridge Law and Camp Wood Hill. Still frustratingly difficult to get over the high fence into the enclosure with the hill fort.Paul Digard06/03/2022
Signed track from the D'Arcy road to the NE. Fence pretty easy to clamber over. Nice fort boundary. Some kind of rough sleeping area.summitter25/02/2022
Track through the wood from NE.Andrew Simmons14/08/2021
From Mayfield. Not sure why high-fenced.willyross05/05/2021
After Gallow hill, along lanes , then good path going towards Mayfield. HP is inside an enclosure best entered from N. No view until outside wood, when it is excellent. Path down to Mayfield, the Newtongrange, then no 29 bus back to Edinburgh.Thearlaichdubh28/11/2017
parked at gate, track through woods to the top.robertphillips29/01/2017
From NE. Love the path sign at cross-roads of paths pointing to 2m high fence. Various mounds on fairly flat summit inside aforementioned fence. No views.Minto07/01/2017
From ne, RoW track a short way then L and thru open gate. Oak on 1m mound at hp which is hillfort earthwork. Natural hp will have been hereabouts a long time ago. My 1100th new Tump of 2016.RHW10/12/2016
From the NE. A possible candidate for the hall of shame. High fence appeared to be surrounding summit wood on all sides, including across a signposted path. Credit to those who appear to have taken direct action in support of Scotland's access laws.Topographer5720/11/2016
P at track end to NE. Walked round the high fence anti clockwise. Found a low gate NE side.chrisbien31/08/2014
Been up here a few times. High fences have now appeared around the summit area but you can get in by a gate. Apr 19:Care required if going in from the west along the core path. I turned back due to discomfort at the characters working at the path end and on the return was aggressively questioned.fasgadh28/08/2013
From SW. Tried a few possible tops, but close to the track seemed highestagentmancuso15/01/2011
