Second top on walk taking in Tolborough, Leskernick, Buttern Hill, Bray Down and Hendra Beacon from Jamaica Inn. I've wanted to come here for years. Two damaged stone circles and a ton of archaeology. Headed up to the top from the northern circle via a huge prehistoric settlement site. Onwards to Buttern Hill.thesweetcheat15/06/2022

Parked at bend in road near ford to north at SX 18358 82651 Buttern Hill > Leskernick Hill > Bray Down. Rough descent back to car from Bray Down.David Gradwell13/09/2017
Small parking area (alt 918ft) right at the very end of the road running west from Trewint (I checked with the lady at the house that this was dedicated public parking). Easy start along good track. Whole area flat grassland so no problems in taking a direct route across the open access to the summit. 3.42 miles including The Beacon.moorsman17/06/2016
Continuation of walk from The Beacon. Climbed wooden gate and headed SW, crossing stony track. Then up between granite boulders to summit. Walk continued to Buttern Hill.Man of Kernow131/03/2015

Visited whilst in the area geocaching.CornishGazza22/09/2013
Easy roadside parking just before end of minor road to East. The valley to SE of hill is boggy even in dry weather. Interesting hill with extensive remains of settlements and hut circles. Lots of wild ponies, but didn't meet any other walkers.Hillsidenick13/08/2013
