| Parked in Lodge Hill Road. Followed ROW along S side of fort before following a path up to hillfort ramparts. | PGCE | 28/12/2022 |
| Followed path network from east. Slipped on return , ended upcvered n mud. | cjo | 18/12/2022 |
| Pleasant, wooded summit on ancient earthworks with well used paths. Hard to identify actual natural HP, but several options visited. Part of a tump circuit of Newport in which this was the most rural. | Denise | 24/01/2022 |
| Well used path deviates from the RoW running along the S side of the fort and follows the ridge crossing the rows of woodland ring mounds and trenches to reach the wooded summit. An extensive hill fort. E side of the top ring mound next to where path cuts through seems as good a high point as any. | RichardM | 24/01/2022 |
| I think I failed on this one previously when I attempted it from the north. Better luck today when we parked on Lodge Hill and then found the footpath going SW just fine. I then scrambled through some brambles and up a bank to the upper footpath and top. Think if I had stayed on the lower footpath it would have led around to a point where I could have cut back up to the top just as easy. | Father Ted | 15/08/2021 |

| Parked at end of Lodge Hill and worked my way across some very brambly parts to HP. | clivevilla | 15/08/2019 |
| 5/5 Parked in lay-by just before lodge hill farm and followed footpath (a short distance up private road), to hill fort and high point. | penbet | 20/07/2019 |
| A short walk up from the south, past the covered reservoir to see the fort. This turned out to be a much better hillfort than I expected, and the time of year meant a full exploration as the vegetation was yet to take hold. The highpoint is somewhere on the inner ramparts, but the best bit of the fort is the banks at the western entrance. | thesweetcheat | 23/03/2019 |

| From the River Usk, through the hospital grounds, up Lodge Hill, and then left at the top of the road along the footpath which runs along the south side of the wood, turning right at the western end, up to the highest point of the hill fort ramparts | Mariana Trench | 09/12/2017 |

| From East along FP and then up one of the many paths, bracken no problem this time of year. HP seemed obvious by large tree. | PeterD | 19/02/2017 |
| Hillfort, innermost of 3 banks is hp, natural hp may have been at this end but unclear. from E as others, initially made mistake of climbing up R too early, evil nettly bracken- retreated to resume path to summit | RHW | 16/10/2016 |
| Parked on Lodge Hill (Road) just before private road to Lodge Hill Farm. Followed a path along one of the lower ramparts of this hill fort, then a track cut directly up to summit. Walked along top of ramparts but HP seemed to be at E end. | jonglew | 23/06/2016 |
| Along fp from east and then up embankments to summit in beautiful mature woodland. | Campbell Singer | 18/05/2016 |
| Pleasant walk through woods. Summit on fort embankment next to large old ash tree. | Barbara Singer | 18/05/2016 |
| Western side of hill fort. Wooded. | Adrian | 18/10/2015 |
| Entered the summit via the paddocks close to lodge farm using the lodge hill circular hill walk. For such a small hill took alot of time on this one.Highest point on this one appears to be on the ringditch walls at the western edge of the hillfort.Got the summit height close to a metal gate and very close to lodge farm walked around the hillfort(very tough vegatation) through the hillfort and along the hillfort walls. | hodder | 14/04/2014 |
