Another post work walk, parked on road to west and followed footpath to summit, reached top as Root hit his century vs Pakistan, shame they lost though. | penbet | 03/06/2019 |
From the footpath which runs behind Bassaleg school, up through Court Wood, southwest through two fields and onto the wooded hill fort, then across the field to the high point. Lots of barbed wire fences to climb: not an easy hill to access. | Mariana Trench | 28/05/2019 |
From road to W, easy walk across fields to hill fort, then over fence to natural summit in field to E. | Tony J | 03/06/2018 |

Parked by Fishing Lake followed by a short yomp across a couple of fields. | Ramblingpaul | 23/10/2016 |

Parked at the Cwm Hedd fishing lake, not marked on my OS 1:25k map (ST 2649 8605). Pleasant walk over wild flower meadow initially. HP either on hill fort ramparts at ST 27356 86241 (118m) or in sheep pasture 80m E (117m). | jonglew | 23/06/2016 |
