| Summit area is bright compared to surrounding dark vegetation | Adrian | 14/04/2024 |
| The easy way. Roadside parking on minor road to NW at SW72618 48452. Field gate to cross stubble field to NE corner of solar farm. Over easy wall/bank & follow nice open grass strip SE between wood and solar farm for @50m. Look for worn gap over wall bank on L into trees to easily seen and climbed large tumulus/ barrow in light woods surrounded by thicket. Had to be v careful scaling the bank / wall keeping myself rigid as just 2 weeks into post op recovery and all bending/ twisting still uncomfortable. Had just been for a check up with saintly district nurse at nearby Chasewater who treated my wound with lovely soothing cream and told me to keep taking it easy. This just about qualified. | Chris Pearson | 13/03/2023 |
| Room to park at entrance to disused track at SW 72856 48381. Track overgrown with brambles and saplings etc. In not too many years it may be impossible to get to low point in wall at SW 72777 48361 via the track. I entered wood here for short easy (ish) walk to south tumulus which is highest point of hill (Lidar data) | David Gradwell | 04/05/2019 |
| general thrash about in brambly undergrowth | cjo | 03/04/2019 |
| Short distance from road but involves moderate thrashing through brambly undergrowth! Two possible HPs: next to solar array, outside its security fence, at northern of two marked tumuli, in an area of bramble by wall junction; or -our preferred HP-: at southern of two marked tumuli where there is a definite barrow, partly tree covered but all quite open under the tree canopy of oak, sweet chestnut, holly and rhododendron with not too many brambles. No line of sight between two and no cairn. Easy parking west side of B 3277 in single car lay by to south of road junction, and east of summit. | Denise | 21/10/2018 |
| Easy parking on the B3277, through woods to summit area. Large barrow (SW 72817 48321)in wood feels to be higher than the fields to the W. Not sure about the heavily overgrown northern barrow! | RichardM | 21/10/2018 |
| Verge parking on the B road (SW 7282 4840). Field junc SW 7276 4835 may be the HP, but barrow(?) in scrubby woodland seems higher (SW 72807 48319). | jonglew | 18/10/2018 |
| A mound in the field between the solar farm and the road appears to be the high point. It is at 72770 48387 and is horribly brambly. | clivevilla | 12/11/2017 |
| From E. Natural HP seemed to be N edge of solar array or field adjacent. Rather level area. | RHW | 04/04/2015 |
| Intended as quick bag from road along apparent track next to wood. Good single car pull-in. Dressed for summer stroll but needed thick thorn and nettle proof clothing and probably branch cutters! Left for another day! | ijpowell | 25/07/2014 |
